In Nominal/Real(2008) Trillions of US$

Projected fiscal 2009
Revenue: 2.77/NA
Spending: 3.10

2008:
R: $2.66/2.66
S: $2.9


2007:
R: $2.4/2.51
S: $2.8

2006
R: $2.2/2.32
S:$2.7

Notice that those numbers do outpace inflation but not real GDP growth (~2.2% for the past few years averaged) or deficit spending.

Thanks Steven. Where did you get these numbers? How far back can you get them for?
