Your numbers are wrong. 700B TARP was in that budget even though it was a loan that has been mostly repaid.

>> In addition, today's $1.4 trillion deficit was caused by Bush and the GOP. The deficit was on a $1 trillion run rate before Obama ever took office.

This is such a big lie.

How do you square this, in your little mind, with the fact that Bush's deficits were consistently, for his full term, a "few hundred billion" a year, then suddenly, the day Obama takes office they're trillions?

It totally defies any logic at all.
