3. How very republican.

Around 90% of the accumulated budget deficits since 1960 have been amassed under republican presidents.

9. Congress has the purse strings...

... how do those stats line up?

12. Congress works off the budget submitted by the president.

For example, Reagan's budgets called for more than one trillion dollars in total deficits and Congress exceeded that by a small amount (around 2%).

8. Don't forget, all the wars are OFF BUDGET and don't even count

I wish i could make my mortgage payment disappear as "off budget"

Boy, I'd have lots of walking around money then.
