5) Fifty percent of new college graduates are underemployed or unemployed.

I am sooooo sick of that word - underemployment. Working until you find the job you want is a great thing, working multiple jobs to pay your incredibly high student loan obligation is a great thing. But the implication is that there should be a job waiting on the other end of a 'women's studies' degree is a misnomer that really needs to be quashed.

I know I'm quibbling, but using liberal idealism is just plain wrong.

11) When he was running for President in 2008, Barack Obama pledged not to raise taxes on families making less than 250,000 dollars per year. He broke that promise with the tanning salon tax and with Obamacare, which raises almost 500 billion dollars in new taxes, a significant portion of which would be paid by people making less than 250,000 dollars per year.

Every family earning less than $250,000 a year had at least an $800 tax increase this year, by virtue of the end of the 'stimulus tax credit' - guess that economy is roaring along now so we didn't need it anymore. I know that's sideshow type stuff, but hey, why not beat the guy with his own stick? In addition, the vast majority of smokers earn less than $250,000 a year and were burdened by the increase in tobacco taxes on the federal level, in some cases raising prices by 400%. If you're going to talk about a salon tax, might as well talk about tobacco taxes.

13) In February of this year, the federal government had a 229 billion dollar deficit. That was the largest deficit in the history of the United States.

And before you blame Bush for this deficit, Senator Obama voted for the budget that the US was operating under when he took office as president. That budget had a two trillion dollar deficit targetted for 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. As president, he exceeded that target in less than a year.

Exactly, that arrogant, lazy lying pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave has only himself and his fellow rats to blame
