Eh, only some parts true from a certain perspective. Other stuff not really based on facts.
Where's little Bushie promising huge tax cuts, massive new entitlement programs, two foreign wars we've yet to win, a net negative job loss, and a budget that went from +$250B to -$1400B by the time he left office? That was awesome.

Wanna try fixing the budget? Here's a little game that's pretty cool. Play king for a day and see if you can control the budget, payoff the debt and not wreck the US std of living. Not so easy. Tough choices ahead no doubt. A lot of the crap that gets media attn does not have much of an impact, where as there are some glaring realities nobody is ready to admit we need.

Budget Hero



1st time I went thru I made huge cuts to defense, enacted some needed taxes (but not on middle class), huge investments into science and infrastructure and Healthcare. Got a budget surplus to reduce debt by $5T in 10yrs ($14T to $10T), as well as not gut SS nor medicare heavily. Shrunk govt by 2% of GDP

I'll play again later see what else to do
