Nightfall in America: The Obama deficits portend a gloomy future.

Pete DuPont writes in the Wall Street Journal: When the Democrats took control of Congress in 2007, the debt held by the public was 36.2% of GDP. It rose to 40.2% the next year. This year it will be about 63.6%, next year 68.6%, then 77% of GDP in 2020. And the Obama administration’s budget estimates 218% in 2050. The reason for these rising deficits is the huge increases in federal spending–the intended growth of the federal government–that Congress and the president are pushing . . . All of this means we are indeed beginning to see a new America, dusk rather than dawn . . .
