Half of a huge amount is still a huge amount.

"Liberals Claim Obama Has Reduced National Deficit By 50%" The implication is that it was half of what he "inherited" from Bush. The deficit is "half" of the obscene deficit of 2009, but that inclluded a trillion dollar "stimulus", which in subsequent years was rolled into the baseline budget, so his "cutting the deficit 50%" doesn't mention that we have an additional trillion dollars of spending every year since 2009, plus the deficit.

No real cuts (except the military). Just real lies.

Here's the basis of this lie:

The "Last Bush Budget" was not passed in the fall of '08 as required by federal law. Reid and Pelosi controlled Congress since '06. They figured Obama would probably win, so they delayed the vote on the budget until Obama took office. The actual vote on the "last Bush budget" took place in March of '09, passed on party lines, and was signed by Obama.

That's the bill the hiked spending from $2.7 trillion to $3.6 trillion per year.

But, ever since, smart Democrat Propagandists and ignorant journalists have used that spending level as the base for the start of Obama's Presidency, as if he inherited that much spending (and the $1.65 Trillion deficit of that year) from Bush, when in fact it was a bill passed entirely by D's and signed by Obama.

Tell a Big Lie, and tell it often, and eventually everyone believes it.

* Bush requested $407 billion for 2009, the actual was $1.416 trillion because of Obama's phony $800 billion Stimulus for political paybacks, his self-admitted lie about no shovel ready jobs, and send billions overseas.
