LMAO

True to Republican form, the opening sentence begins with a lie.

the fiscal year 2010 out-of-pocket deficit was much higher than it was in fiscal 2009.


And now the facts...

With three months still to go in the current budget year, the federal deficit has topped $1 trillion, but is lower than it was a year ago.

The Treasury Department said Tuesday that the amount of government red ink (totaling $1 trillion) shrank 7.6 percent from the $1.09 trillion deficit in June 2009.


And of course the 2009 budget was George Bush's final budget.

It has been clear to me for many years that the GOP will never debate on facts, and use only lies, distortions and obfuscations to promote their agenda.
