Um, pretty sure Democrats took over Congress in 2006... not 2008.

Also, the only number I checked out was the 2009 deficit... which was 1.4 trillion... not the ~1.85 trillion it shows on the chart.

Actually they weren't sworn in until 2007 and had nothing to do with the FY2007 budget. Their first budget was FY2008.

Which is fine, what's '94 look like? :roll:

How about '93? :coffee:

Christ, it's fucking hilarious to watch donks try to parse the data instead of just admitting they're wrong regarding the party that spends more. :rofl: :rofl:

The Inauguration Day gas price has to be a typo. $2.85 makes more sense.

This doesn't make Obama's record look any better, just pointing out something that doesn't look right.

No, believe it or not, gas was under $1.50 in Dec 2008. I know this because I am a pathetic data-dink who keeps a spreadsheet of my fill-ups. I filled up for $1.479/gallon in Dec 08.

Yeah, I just looked it up. You're right. I just forgot about gas being that "cheap" in 2009. :lol:

I believe it. Just love your delivery and unflinching but enlightened hatred of donks. You're AZ, if he was cool and composed.

The way the question is posed is inherently wrong.

It's everyone's responsibilty. Partisan ideology has gone way out of control that neither side is currently doing a damn thing. Name one friggin thing EITHER side has done since they came back to town last month??

There's this super-committee that everyone seems to think will come up with a solution. I'll give a less than 5% chance that whatever they come up with would get passed.

The answer is to start all over - Campaign 469.

That's right. It's our fault. We have allowed both sides to steal us blind. And what do we do? We spend most of our time in the ridiculous argument over which side is worse. It's the Republicans fault! No it's the Democrats fault! A pox on both sides!!!
