Glenn Grothman lies by citing stale numbers. PolitiFlawed rates it "half true."
I guess they'd rate the claim that "slavery is legal in America" as "half true" too.

Glenn Grothman says 20 percent of federal budget is borrowed
Grothman, elected to succeed retiring Republican Tom Petri, threw out a statistic to make his point: "Just the fact that right now we’re borrowing 20% of our budget does show there are going to be some big differences between the president and us on government spending."
...
In the latest accounting, the borrowing figure amounts to 13.8 percent, the lowest since just before the recession.
...
The Treasury and White House announced the results on Oct. 15, 2014, six weeks before Grothman’s appearance on "UpFront."
The subsequent CBO report came out Nov. 10, 2014, about three weeks before Grothman made the claim.
If you're not aware, Grothman is the lunatic that my neighbors voted into the House of Representatives last month.
