@ican711nm,
Do you bother to read what you post?
You are comparing a 27 year span to a 3 year span, and that is incorrect.
You posted...
Quote:Federal Receipts during the period 1980 - 2007 increased from $0.517 to $2.568 trillion, and during the period 2007 - 2010 decreased from $2.568 trillion to $2,165 trillion
Without doing any research, I am willing to bet that in that 27 years, there were short spans when revenue decreased.
Why dont you wait till 2034, then compare the different 27 year time spans and see what you get.
