THE BANK ACCOUNT CAN’T BE EMPTY; THEY STILL HAVE SOME CHECKS LEFT: Dems Are Shocked to Learn that Federal Government Runs a Deficit. Or, if you prefer “if you never balance your checkbook, you never have to admit to debt.” But what I really like is their idea that they’re entitled to all of our money and that somehow not taking as much money from us as they are now means they’re “adding to the debt.” No, what is adding to the debt is unconscionable spending. Stop acting like drunken sailors on shore leave. And stop putting your hand in my pocket, too.
