"CBO projects that the deficit this year will total $1.2 trillion, or 8.3 percent of GDP."Oh, I'm sorry, that's actually the 'Budget and Economic Outlook Report' the CBO released on January 7, 2009, thirteen days before Barack Obama took office.
I just had a woman and her 16 year old son drop by my house campaigning for Republicans. I asked her what the deficit was when George W. Bush left office and she didn't know so I showed her that report. Poor thing. I think she's going home now and call it a night since her son was looking awfully pale and she was near tears.
Sorry, but I refuse to tolerate ignorance regardless if it embarrasses someone in front of their kid. As I told the young lad, be sure to do your own research and not just listen to people who get their information from Fox News.
