I don't watch FOX news or listen to Rush Limbaugh, so I am glad that Jon Stewart keeps and eyes on them for us. My blood pressure goes up everytime I hear anything come out of their hateful mouths and the other day I went looking for some facts and want to post them somewhere I can get a hold of them when I need to! and spread them around too!

Under the Bush Administration:

The budget went from 128 billion dollar surplus to 1.3 trillion dollar deficit - and did not include cost of the war in Iraq
Poverty levels rose from 32.9 million to 37.3 million
Numbers of uninsured rose from 41.2 mil to 45.7 mil
Unemployment 4.3% to 7.6%

The Obama budget increases defense spending but all you hear about is the cuts to projects that have been wasting billions of dollars every year.

Please feel free to add more important facts to this blog - we need ammunition!
