the public has no idea that the deficit has been falling like a stone. A solid majority of voters think it’s still going up, and hardly anyone knows that it’s going down.

puhlease...fuzzy math to the rescue..smoke and mirrors...deficit VS National debt..now impress me..National debt is the killer, our deficit could be at zero and we would still be in a world of hurt

The deficit has been falling greatly. Seems that obstructionist republicans stopped the agenda to put the hurt on the economy further. Obama himself has helped by postponing Obamacare for another 2 years.

Even Obama's only fellow Democrats wouldn't vote to pass the budget he wanted to spend. Not a single one of them.

Hey, how about that sequester they said would cause doom and our demise! Seems to have actually helped. And that's contrary to Krugman's advice and philosophy.

Here's what will happen when privatization takes over...a lyin' zoo.

It turns out that the dog-for-cat swap wasn't the only attempt to pull the wool over the eyes of zoo patrons: There was also a domestic dog housed in the wolf pen, and a white fox was found pacing the leopard exhibit...the zoo had been run by a private businessman for several years, at an annual rent of [$17,000].

We need to raise taxes so our zoos can be inspected.

That's it.

That's the ticket.

Here's today's record-setting 7-hour spacewalk. I got up early to watch it live as usual. No private company will invest billions, decades before profit is possible.

I find interesting links. Then I find the best-fitting thread. Then I write a little intro to segue it into the thread.

I'm only here to be helpful, so that you all keep up.

We need to raise taxes so our zoos can be inspected by guys doing 7 hour space walks.

That's the ticket!

Who knew that if free enterprise tried to save a few bucks, it would create a new species from the doe?

I have some advice you.

Never read, listen to, or pay any attention to anything Krugman says. The guy completely flipped his lid sometime ago and he has become a complete waste of time.

It is going down. I want to see the day when it balances.

We saw it balance in the Clinton years. The media was so busy persecuting him, it hardly mentioned Clinton's miracle. Then the Republicans took over in 2001, cashed in with the giant 10-year tax cut for the rich, and terrible 1980s deficits were back.
