Sen. Barbara Boxer (D., Calif.) claimed on Friday that the federal budget deficit has “been cut in half” under Obama.

Budget figures provided by the White House show that the deficit nearly tripled from 2008 to 2009, when Obama took office, and has remained above $1 trillion since then, though 2013 projections are slightly lower.

The country has seen higher budget deficits during every year of Obama’s presidency than it did during any of his predecessor’s eight years in office.

"If you listen to the Republicans, you’d that this deficit has gone up under President Obama. President Obama inherited a $1.2 trillion deficit. It’s now down — it’s been cut in half. It’s been cut in half. But if you listen to them, you’d think that, oh my God, everything is awful. I just took a look at the charts. I took a look at deficits under Democratic and Republican presidents. I am so proud to be a Democrat."

Good grief.

Add a trillion or so per year and the deficit is shrinking?

Just damn.

Reminds me of the US Congressman who was lobbying to get the military off of Guam. He was afraid all the men and equipment would tip the island over. No kidding at all.

I saw a tweet from OFA last week claiming that Obamacare will increase exports.

Bimbo, thy name is Barbara.

Shouldn’t we have a constitutional provision which voids the statehood of any state with constituents dumb enough to elect such an ignorant sl%t?

Anyway, to quote a great (in its own mind) American, “What difference does it make?”

Perhaps the “big one” will take care of Mexifornia for us soon.

This political rhetoric is aimed at a target demographic. It is not for the informed voter. It is for the low information Democratic “base” voter. It’s aimed at the 40% of the taker pubic who get their information from the Communist News Network, National Public Radio, ABC, NBC and MSNBC. And, it is very effective with them. I know a couple and they see and live in an entirely different universe than I see and live in.

So if 0bama and all of his butt monkeys like Boxer say it and the people believe it does that mean all of our debt will just go away?

The only way he cut in half is if he cut the report page in half.

Why shouldn’t she? It’s not like the “news” media would call her on it.

The cumulative deficit during Hussein's first 4-years was nearly $5.2 trillion. The Community Organizer signed two bills — the 2009 stimulus and the 2010 tax cut — that alone cost $1.6 trillion during that time, or nearly a third of the cumulative four-year deficit.

Boxer is a lying idiot.
