Think debt, taxes, and spending are at all-time highs these days? It turns out that belief is almost totally false. A presentation from the Bureau of Economic Analysis includes three charts that everyone should see. It turns out, taxes are lower than through most of history, debt as a percentage of GDP has been much higher in the past, and on government spending, only if you include transfer payments (like Social Security) is spending at a new high relative to GDP.
