Re: Yeah, that must be it.
The meme was never useful, except as another irrelevant attack point on conservatives in general.
We posted a budget deficit - just in the month of February - of $225 billion. As a random comparison point, extending the Bush tax cuts for those making over $250,000 a year was estimated by the CBO to reduce revenues by around $700 billion over the next ten years. An average of $70 billion a year, or $5.8 billion a month.
The current estimate for the month of March is a $189 billion deficit.
And now everyone's dancing around or screaming bloody murder about a $38 billion spending cut.
Do the math.
Ooh, look over there! Donald Trump the Birther!
