The biggest single piece of the $862 billion (over three fiscal years) ARRA contributions to the deficit are the ARRA tax cuts.....$288 billion in less revenue.

Deficits do not just result from spending more...but also from receiving less.

According to the very chart I linked to that made up a minor part of the deficit.

Maximum Amount: $66.13 billion
Deficit Impact: $17.76 billion
