Really bad ones get a “W” chia pet?? Maybe a Cheney?

Har!

An Obama chia head is the gift of the century. Chia, chia, chia. Only 18 trillion in debit spending. Everybody can afford one.

^18 trillion?? The entire debt is less than 14 trillion.

And here is the total debt year by year.

A couple key points: sept 2001: $5,807,463,412,200.06 sept 2008: $10,024,724,896,912.49

I think it’s nicer when we all use the numbers provider by the US Treasury.

A Palin chia pet anyone?

^It is lying when someone says that the annual deficit (although he used the wrong word) is 30% more than the entire debt, especially when 75% of the debt came under Republican presidents. But Conservatives have never cared much about the truth.

What you consider truth, at least ;) Do you deny that the US debt grew over 4 trillions between September 2001 and 2008? These were supposed to be much better years than 2008-2010, after all.

Um, Howie, solid numbers were provided to you, showing that zed875 lied. That’s truth. Unless you care to disprove those numbers. Arguing instead that “libs never believe the truth” is really weird, when you are explicitly doing precisely that.

Jeez.
