Uh - why are revenues flat?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.143.76.117 (talk) 07:58, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Line is the historical average tax collections of around 18% of GDP. Right now we are at 15% of GDP or so.Farcaster (talk) 17:37, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Also, "the risks of growing entitlement spending" doesn't seem a very NPOV title. I see a modest increase in Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security, and an enormous increase in "Net interest". Wouldn't a title in the lines of "the risk of runaway federal debt" be more accurate? 134.192.68.154 (talk) 19:44, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
 * The image is no longer relevant anyway. It's 2011 and mandatory spending already accounts for 100% of federal revenue.  The future is here.--130.76.96.153 (talk) 17:48, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
