"Between 1945-1980 when the deficit as a percentage of GDP was going dowb, the Dems controlled both houses of Congress 98% of the time, no matter whether the president was a Dem. or a GOPer. However, since 1980, when the president was a GOPer and the GOP controlled the Senate, the budget deficit began to increase as a percentage of GDP." Bah! Mere facts! What is the truthiness in this? Tim and his cohorts have constructed an elaborate fantasy that doesn't depend on facts. And it is self-consistent. How can you challenge that? I know....its the liberal in me that wants it to be real, not truthiness. I'll have to go back for some more truthiness treatments. Its really kind of amazing.....even as the GOPers are starting to admit that Iraq is a mess and things are out of control, their latest line is we have to keep fighting the good fight; that we can't leave no matter what we think. One guy, Dick Armey, was shocked that anyone would really consider such a move as withdrawing the troops. These guys just don't get it and when they do, they still don't want to get it. OT.....have you seen Heroes yet? I bet you would like it a lot. I think its one of the best shows on tv. Its a mix of fantasy....scifi......and realism, all mix in one. Check it out and.......... Save the cheerleader; save the world!
