NPP In Action

"As the national organizer for two US tours of Iraqi trade unionists, I ensured that local organizers had the resources needed to make these events a success. NPP's fact sheets were by far one of the most useful tools we provided. Organizers across the country appreciated how these sheets brought the issue of the war home."

- Thomas Bacon, National Organizer

Federal Deficits and Surpluses, 1930 - 2008 (As a Percentage of GDP)

A deficit is when the outlays exceed revenues and a surplus is when revenues exceed outlays.

The chart indicates how large the deficit or suplus was as compared to the size of the economy. After World War II ended, the significant deficits in relation to the size of the economy were during the 1980s and at present.
