“The GOP”, knows the real numbers, they just aren’t about to let their “followers” see them, or believe them. Just as the real numbers on running up the national debt have long been available, and denied, distorted, and outright lied about by “the right”. Taxes down, debt up, is the ONLY POSSIBLE OUTCOME of cutting your income, and increasing spending! Lowering taxes increases revenue, EXACTLY like cutting your salary by 80% increases your income!
watch Romney’s term if he wins and increases spending too. The real thing people look at for Obama though is the total spending which did increase but at a slower rate than it had in Bush’s term
For those who want to not only see that chart but read the blog explaining it, which is from the entirely NON-liberal Wall Street Journal:http://www.marketwatch.com/story/obama-spending-binge-never-happened-2012-05-22?link=MW_popular
I like Obama but like every other president he can’t do much, The U.S.A’s political system is one of blocks not of boosts. Obama can not push his own bills, He can block others. None the less unfortunately neither party wants to cut into military spending by the pentagon
To anyone who wants to know the truth and how to find it, may I recommend Darrell Huffs book How to Lie with Statistics. Small sample: How to honestly come up with three different average incomes for a locale and all of them 100% true.
With no budget in three years – the rate of spending increases 1.4 . . . . as in 140% . . . .? . . . . . of what?.0bama is abstaining from behind . . . .!!!
Now, I got it – 0bama is actually a spend-thrift Libertarian . . . . and the $ trillions were actually spent by the Martians, after all there has been no budget for the past 3 years . . . .

Best not to try and use facts on the Know-Nothing GOP. Facts upset those who hate President Obama. Quick! Turn on Fox and get your propaganda fix.
