$1.75 Trillion Dollar Deficit in Obama's Budget
Bush's Largest Deficit was $400 Billion

You do love to push Rasmussen before the election Virgil
So when Bush had a $400 billion deficit -that was bad
Obama was a $2 trillion deficit - that is great?
You love Obama hiring tax cheats to fill slots in his administration?
You love both Obama and Pelosi lying about not having earmarks and pork in their "stimulus" bill?
Being a liberal hack Virgil - as long as they have a "D" at the end of thier name - you will support them no matter how much hyprocicy they display
No wonder Obama's approval numbers are heading south

The debt is hardly "great", but it IS necessary to stimulate the economy that your boy Dubya nearly killed. Obama will reduce it when the economy turns around, which it will do.
and regarding Obama's supposedly falling numbers.... why do you avoid telling us about the blue line on the RCP page?
and WHY do you keep avoiding telling me what is so darned wrong with Obama getting FREE PIZZA?

Reminds me of this since it is tax day
The Dinner Lesson
With the income filing date fast approching I though it would be interesting to relate this story.
This is a story that I heard on the radio about 10 men who had dinner and paid for it in the same manner as you would pay your income tax. A Professor of Economics from the University of Georgia created this to help explain the Income Tax and how cutting taxes works.
It seemed that 10 men decided to have a business lunch once a week. They always met in the same restaurant and the bill was always, $100.00, for all 10 men. If each man was responsible for his share of the bill that would be, $10.00, each. The men decided to divide the bill based upon their ability to pay. Using an agreed upon formula the following payment arraignment was worked out based upon income.
Men 1-4 who made the least amount of money paid nothing.
Man 5 paid $ 1.00
Man 6 paid $ 3.00
Man 7 paid $ 7.00
Man 8 paid $12.00
Man 9 paid $18.00
Man 10 paid $59.00
After several weeks the owner of the restaurant told the men that because they were such good customers he was reducing the bill by $20.00. Their delimina was how to divide up the, $20.00. If each person got the same amount then the first 4 men would be getting money back but they never paid anything for the dinners. After much discussion and no resolve the owner offered the following suggestion which they all agreed to.
Original Payment New Payment $ Amount Saved % Saved
Men 1-4 paid $ 0.00 $ 0.00 $0.00 0%
Man 5 paid $ 1.00 $ 0.00 $1.00 100%
Man 6 paid $ 3.00 $ 2.00 $1.00 33%
Man 7 paid $ 7.00 $ 5.00 $2.00 28%
Man 8 paid $12.00 $ 9.00 $3.00 25%
Man 9 paid $18.00 $14.00 $4.00 22%
Man 10 paid $59.00 $50.00 $9.00 15%
Once out side the men began to argue about the settlement. Man 5 said he only got, $1.00, while Man 10 received, $9.00. Men 1-4 were upset because the received nothing. They said that the cut only benefited the rich and the poor got nothing. They were upset so they beat up Man 10 and left him. The next week they met for lunch as usual except man 10 did not show up. When the new bill arrived the men discovered that between them they did not have enough money to pay even half of the bill.
In this story we see a simplified version of the Federal Income Tax. According to an article in the "New York Times" 80% of the taxes are paid by 20% of the people highest income people. Any time you have a tax cut the people who pay taxes are going to get the money. The next time you hear of a tax cut and the media tells you that the wealthy are getting all the money, remember they are paying the taxes.

the name is not virgil...I have been here since december of last year... and I do not put much stock in rasmussen and never have. why do YOU avoid the link from Real Clear Politics which shows quite clearly, that Obama's ratings have remained virtually unchanged throughout the time you claim they have been falling... and why do you continue to run away from answering the question regarding why you have a problem with free pizza?

As PMP said, there is no such thing as a free lunch. Only with libs who have someone else pay for it. Usually the taxpayers

the pizzas were free. the president didn't pay a nickel for them...the restaruant owner donated them and it was a great marketing ploy. why do you have a problem with that?
why don't you just admit that when you started this thread, you thought that Obama was paying for the pizzas and paying for their cook to be flown to DC? WHy don't you just admit that you were wrong?
