Another lie about the debt is that there has been recent budget surpluses. This gov web site shows there hasn't been a surplus in 40+ years. We came close in in the 90's but no cigar. I wish people would quit giving Clinton credit for having a surplus, he lies about that too.

During the 'Toon years they always talked about the "projected" surplus, which is now talked about as though there really was a surplus.

The saddest part of the whole scam is that the Pubbies, including the leadership, went along with the scam instead of spilling the beans.

It's an easy game for the RepubliCrats to play.

For years I projected that I would retire at 45, yet 15 years later I'm still workin' away. Who knew?

You are so right! That just goes to show that if the media report the lies long enough, people will just remember it as fact.
