The continual compost that has been coming from Obama and his cadre of communists in Washington has the nation in need of at least hip waders. Always on the alert to slither between the cracks and as predicted in “Making Government Run” (NLTZ 10/23/09) the liberals want to surreptitiously raise their debt ceiling to $1.8 TRILLION. The goal is to make the whole deficit talk disappear as they attempt to once again hoodwink the American public, this time in 2010. It should be our goal then to talk continually of Obama’s deficit.
