You might ask, how could the public be so misinformed about this. You can thank the media, with FAUX News leading the way.
The deficit was $1.4 trillion on the day President Obama was first inaugurated. Today it's $900 billion. Not great but going in the right direction. Why aren't they CROWING that the deficit has been cut by $500 billion?
