Here's some graphs for you F-Sharp:

This is what I always like about liberals. When conservatives disagree with them, they're quick to label them as stubborn, uneducated, monster truck show watching, NASCAR watching extremists who just don't get it. As if somehow being conservative automatically makes you stupid.
Now at the risk at being labeled stupid or uneducated I'll break it down into simple terms.
Obama and his idiot Attorney General are now suing the State of Alabama over their soon to be enacted immigration law.
Now, would you allow a total stranger to come into your house, eat your food, relieve his bowels anywhere he pleases and then demand that you give him some spending money to go out? You don't know if this person is a criminal since you didn't screen him, you don't know if he's mentally unbalanced, you don't know if he has any education, you know NOTHING of this person, yet here he sits, in your house, eating your food, watching your TV and asking you for money.
Would you allow this? No? Well our Federal Government does every single day. And if you try to get this person to leave your house, well, then the Federal Government sues you. Nice system we have under Obama huh? Let's see, Arizona's been sued, Alabama, who's next?
Again in simple terms. You make $3,000 dollars a month in income. You spend $8,000 dollars a month. Soon you're $100,000 dollars in debt. You call your credit card companies, and despite being 6 months behind on your payments, you insist they raise your debt limit. You also tell your boss that he needs to be paying you MUCH more money since you have a lot of bills.
Let me know how this scenario would end for the average American. Yet here we have people stating that we should be paying the Government MORE money so it can spend MORE money. Really? Is that the way it works?!
The actor Matt Damon comes on TV two days ago and says....."I know I wouldn't mind paying 6% more in taxes if it means keeping programs like Headstart and children's reading programs".
Ok, Mr. Hollywood Movie Star. When you make $25,000,000 dollars PER MOVIE, of course a 6% tax increase means NOTHING to you. When you're making $20,000 PER YEAR, maybe you feel a 6% increase in your taxes substantially.
And here's a novel idea. How about parents just sitting down and reading to their kids and helping them read so that we won't NEED Headstart and other tax funded programs.
So come up with all the graphs you want. Continue to blame Reagan, Bush or hell, let's go back to Jefferson or Washington. I mean, why not?!
Or maybe we could just apply some common sense and hold Washington to the same standards that we hold our own selves to. That means, balancing your budget each and every month, spending responsibly and only when you have the money to spend, don't allow strangers into your house and pay for them when you can't afford to feed your own family and treat others as you would want to be treated.
Is it really THAT HARD folks???!!!
