Yeah, I saw some Libs trumpeting this out on FB. One even made the insane comment that Obama would leave office with a surplus.

Dead silence followed when I pointed out two inconvenient truths: first, wouldn't we expect that tax revenues would jump in April - when most people and businesses file their annual and quarterly returns? Second, Obama's own handpicked Fed Chair just said that the coming deficits are going to reach unsustainable levels

The notion we cannot balance the budget today is a lie perpetuated by politicians of both political parties. The revenue exists for a balanced budget. It is the lack of will to prioritize and control spending that prevents us from having a fiscally sound government and strong economy.
