GWB tax cuts & the aftermath

In FY2001 spending was $1,862.8 trillion; by FY2009 spending was at $3,517.7 trillion - more than $1.4 trillion more than what was collected in taxes.

Analysis by Citizens for Tax Justice claims that the Bush era tax cuts resulted in $1,918.9 trillion in lower revenue from FY2001 through FY2009, and that the total cost if implementing the cuts (including interest payments on debt) was $2,141 trillion.
