Now, as you may know, the federal budget ran a surplus for each year from 1998 to 2001. Since then, the federal budget has been running deficits and the total federal debt has increased from about 6 trillion dollars to nearly 15 trillion dollars today. What do you think was the biggest reason why the federal budget went from surplus to large deficits over the past decade?...The cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the cost of domestic spending programs and President (Barack) Obama's stimulus plan, the tax cuts passed under President (George W.) Bush, the economic slowdown that began in 2007, the growing cost of Social Security and Medicare as more baby boomers retire
