Recent polling has shown that people are increasingly worried about the size of the record federal deficit, which under President Barack Obama's budget would hit 13 percent of gross domestic product this fiscal year, dropping to 9.9 percent next year. The last time it reached double digits was during the World War II years of 1942-45; during the New Deal, its high point was 4.76 percent in 1936.
