Rachel Maddow: Shrinking U.S. Budget Deficit Foils GOP Talking Point

[Hulk]

5. so, in essence...

we need to get the deficit down another $606 billion before we can actually say that the national debt is finally falling.

I don't want to sound like I'm being an ass for specifics; but it just seems a bit dishonest to give the impression that the red ink is finally in the black. It's only getting closer to the black; and until it does, we continue to add to the national debt.

Am I right?

And I get what you mean by Cantor making it sound like "this black President in the White House is spending like a drunken sailor..." With the economy finally, slowly, in-spite-of-everything-the repuKKKes-have-done, is getting more taxes into the purse so we can finally reach that "living within our budget" point.

Cantor is a total ass-hole. I'm pissed at Virginia for sending such a syrupy, nauseating drawl-hound to Washington to have to deal with; but that's the way it is when you jerry-mander districts around to where there will never be anyone but the same thug each term. I realize the Democrats have the same advantage/disadvantage. Just seems wrong.
