The Last Word tonight....
OMFG!
I can't believe it.
Cong. Phil Roe(?) tonight kept harping on the notion of Families have to Balance Their Budget and Live Within Their Means. And he kept shoving that his family did that. And his state, when he was Governor Balance Their Budget. But then at the end of one of his tirades he stated that the Congress of the US proved it couldn't live within its means. And Lawrence and Cong. Anthony Weiner let that go!!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't we have a surplus in our coffers at the end of Clinton's 2nd term? And wasn't that surplus entirely flushed right down the toilet by BushCo, giving the vast majority of it and sooooooooooooooo much more to the top 2% of the country, when the Middle Classes were also footing a pretty healthy chunk of the 'overpayment' that the Government was receiving?
I know Retardicans LOVE to rewrite history, but I never thought I'd see such a flagrant effort toward such a rewrite done on a Liberal Media station's political show like this. It's amazing. (I'm actually even more amazed that Lawrence didn't jump down the guy's throat for that lie.)
