The gray line is where we were at the end of September 2010 ==> that’s our target. The blue line is the Obama administration’s baseline budget. As you can see, it sails off into the stratosphere. This is the budget plan the Democrats are defending.

The teal line and red line are the Deficit Commission and Ryan’s plan, respectively. The teal line makes it back to the gray line by the end of 2022. Ryan’s plan? Well, you’ll have to wait another 10 years.
