NATIONAL DEBT: It never ceases to boggle the mind how a Liberal media that is so obsessed with 16 words from a State of the Union address can tolerate volumes of its own lies. With such a pathetic field of Presidential hopefuls lining up from the Left against G.W., the liberal propagandists are scratching for even more pathetic issues to fabricate.
In an attempt at a Bush 1 v. Clinton redux, the lefty liars are trying to create an issue with the budget deficit. Or, as an editorial in the Palm Beach Post screamed, "No matter how they wrap the $455 billion, the deficit’s sharp edges are dangerous." Of course, the New York Times really brings the lying into focus by Blairing out, "In the last three years, The United States government has gone from having the biggest annual surplus in its history to the biggest deficit".
Nothing beats a liar better than a stupid liar.
The big lie from the Left is that the biggest deficits in U.S. history were courtesy of Ronald Reagan at 6%, Bush 1 at $290 billion and the granddaddy of all budget busters…G.W. at $455 billion and counting. How convenient to forget the years from 1942 through 1946 when the respective deficits, as a percentage of GDP, were 14.2%, 30.3%, 22.8% and 21.5%. Of course the country was at war back then…nothing so Liberally insignificant as the destruction of the World Trade Center or the bombing of the Pentagon.
This fixation on the federal deficit as a percentage of GDP (Gross Domestic Product) is almost meaningless. What does it tell you to know how much the government is in the red as a percentage of the total economy? A better ratio would be the entire federal budget as a percentage of GDP. At least then you would know how big the monster is and if it is growing.
