Will You Take A Third Party Out Of State Payheck?

I fell a lot better about my credit card bills after seeing this. For shame.

I wonder how much money the top tier countries spend on military compared to the ones on the bottom. Of course being 10 times higher than second to last isreally crazy.

Nonetheless, here are some words spoken by the President during his July 2006 address.

"Here are some hard numbers: Our originial projection for this year's budget deficit was $423 billion. That was a projection. That's what we thought was going to happen. That's what we sent up to the Congress, here's what we think. Today's report from OMB tells us that this year's deficit will actually come in at about $296 billion. (Applause.)

That's what happens when you implement pro-growth economic policies. We faced difficult economic times. We cut the taxes on the American people because we strongly believe that the American people should lead us out of recession. Our small businesses flourished, people invested, tax revenue is up, and we're way ahead of cutting the deficit -- federal deficit in half by 2009.

As a matter of fact, we're a year ahead of fulfilling a pledge that I told the Congress and the American people. I said to the American people, give this plan a chance to work. We worked with Congress to implement this plan. I said, we can cut the federal deficit in half by 2008 -- or 2009. We're now a full year ahead of schedule. Our policies are working, and I thank the members of Congress for standing with us."

Does this comfort anyone?
