Hensarling didn't appreciate being called a liar by the president, so he went on Morning Joe to have his own Joe Wilson moment to prove the president, who welcomed the fact-checking, was, in fact the liar.

Well, either the President misunderstood the point or he just hasn't been well informed. If you look at the 12 years when Republicans controlled the Congress, the average annual deficit was about $104 billion. I'm not proud of that number. That's too high. But in the three years that Democrats have controlled Congress, the average annual deficit is now $1.1 Trillion. Do the math.

the problem with the GOP is, obama’s lies need ot be addressed at the moment they are uttered, to his vapid arrogant face. Not meekly applauded and attacked later on news shows most of the public will never see.

Republicans at the weekend “accusation” fest should have stood up on the spot to decry the frauds spewed by the “acting” president.

Republicans are too stupid, too cowardly to take advantage of a very, very MAD American public. Wouldn’t be BIPARTISAN I guess.

But $1.1 trillion a year is 91.6 billion a month.
$104 billion is larger than 91.6 billion, by about 13%.
Democrats deficits are about 10.5 times bigger than Republicans. Not quite 12 times.
The Democrats and the Media are working overtime to make the country forget that the Democrats have been in charge of the budget for over 3 years now.
