Via Benen, the CBPP has updated its famous “parfait” chart illustrating what’s driving the national debt between now and 2019 based on CBO estimates from last month.
And, shocker!, the chart looks about the same as it always has. Because, like always, the Bush administration’s policies occupy most of the strata.
However, this chart continues to be a huge secret because if you listen to cable news and the traditional press, both sides are to blame for the sequester and Obama is to blame for out-of-control spending (even though he’s cut the deficit by $555 billion and is responsible for the second lowest annualized growth in government spending of any president since World War II).
