Visualizing the History of the Deficit

The Deficit Since 1962

Recently I though it would be interesting to look up actual figures from the Congressional Budgetary Website and see how our deficit has evolved while also pairing up  the governing parties at the time.

Does anyone else see a trend here? Maybe it’s just me but the old adage of “tax and spend democrat” or “fiscal conservative”  just doesn’t seem right. It will be interesting to see how this evolves over the next 8 years.
