The deficit is down by more than half since President Obama took over, and is projected to fall even further in 2015. In fact, it is falling at the fastest rate since World War II.


hmmm...is this backed up by anything?

The proof the deficit is falling is where. Your link provides ZERO facts.

The deficit indeed fell in 2013, but it fell from ridiculous highs created by Barack Obama, and the level to which it fell is still a record high - by far.
In 2008, under George W., the deficit was 455B. Barack Obama, at that time, called G.W. "unpatriotic" because of the high deficit.
In 2009, under our current fiscal genius it climbed to 1.4T, (over 3X higher than G.W.) in 2010 it was 1.3T, in 2011 it was again 1.3T, and finally in 2012 it was "down to" 1.1T.
This information from CNN, so I'm sure it is as favorably skewed toward B.O. as possible.

Reagan was a spender too. I never did figure out what they could have done with all that star wars money...?

Hey Rhomin, you may be confusing deficit with debt. Debt is the money we owe, deficit is the amount we're over budget (or shortage).
The annual deficits combine, or accumulate, to increase the debt.
Just sayin... 8-)
