    Fucking sheeple. At least this came out before the election. Now, if the GOP can just nominate anybody but Santorum...

    Hey, no biggie. It's only another trillion dollars of money we don't have, give or take $100 billion here or there.

    Anybody want to take a stab at this one?

    This is a true statement.

    We can only hope it will be torn down.

    I posted the link to this article in the "Fuck this healthcare..." thread.

    Many of us have been saying what a sham it was. Richard Nixon can rest in peace knowing he's no longer the biggest liar ever to occupy the White House.

    The Blazers suck and Obama's going to be in office another 4 years. Some of you have it rough.

    Yeah, the worst of both worlds. One breaks our hearts and the other our lives.

    Why is the CBO changing its own estimate from a year ago, the one Obama used? Did the Republicans in Congress put one of their own in charge?

    Not exactly, the size of government was around 18% of GDP, which is a lot smaller than Obama's government.
