The left surely does not understand economics. What is more frightening to me is the number of Republicans that talk a good game, but when faced with a $1.7 Trillion deficit for one single year, look to cut $62 Billion. Do THEY not see that even they are part of this idiocy. They, being the majority in a body elected to control spending, ARE DOING LITTLE TO NOTHING about it. $1.7 Trillion $1.7 Trillion....what do they not understand about the way that looks on a graph headed to Hades?
