GOP: Facts, schmacts. We don’t (won’t) believe you. Because Obama. And maybe Benghazi.

The GOP will point to the trillion dollar OBAMA deficits in the outlying years until they pass dynamic scoring for the CBO. Then they will take credit for shrinking the Obama deficits.

The thing to remember is during the George Bush years tht Afganistan and Irak wars were run off the books. Meaning they did not count them when calculating the deficit. When obama came into office in Jan 2009 the 2009 deficit was 1.4 trillion dollars before he touched the budget. He also included the war costs in the budget. Today without the war costs we would have a balances budget.
