Nonsense. It would have paid off more Unions and Campaign Contributors, as in the past. And made Obama's Dismal Performance worse. Dems lie at every opportunity, espeially at Debates.

Look at the economic record:

>> When the president was sworn in, unemployment stood at 7.8 percent. Joblessness rose above 8 percent the next month, and it still hasn't dropped back below the January 2009 level.

>> The national debt on Inauguration Day 2009 was $10.6 trillion. Today, it tops $16.1 trillion.

>> The federal government's annual budget deficit has topped $1 trillion in each year of the president's term.

>> When the president took office, median household income was $54,983. This past June, it was down to $50,964.

>> The number of Americans on food stamps in January 2009 stood at 31.9 million. In June, it was up to 46.6 million.

>> The poverty rate in 2008 was 12.5 percent. By 2011, it had risen to 15.1 percent.
