    The deficit has been falling greatly. Seems that obstructionist republicans stopped the agenda to put the hurt on the economy further. Obama himself has helped by postponing Obamacare for another 2 years.

    Even Obama's only fellow Democrats wouldn't vote to pass the budget he wanted to spend. Not a single one of them.

    Hey, how about that sequester they said would cause doom and our demise! Seems to have actually helped. And that's contrary to Krugman's advice and philosophy.

    We need to raise taxes so our zoos can be inspected.

    That's it.

    That's the ticket.

    I find interesting links. Then I find the best-fitting thread. Then I write a little intro to segue it into the thread.

    I'm only here to be helpful, so that you all keep up.

    We need to raise taxes so our zoos can be inspected by guys doing 7 hour space walks.

    We saw it balance in the Clinton years. The media was so busy persecuting him, it hardly mentioned Clinton's miracle. Then the Republicans took over in 2001, cashed in with the giant 10-year tax cut for the rich, and terrible 1980s deficits were back.
