And for one day, you need to look at facts and figures, and not let your hate and name-calling stand in the way and give you preconceived ideas.
You say, "even if the above statement is correct that is not the point". Yes, that IS precisely the point. The point is not your hate of the government, your determination to ignore anything that will negatively color your opnion, and your blanket dismissal of facts in evidence to remove support for your opinion. The point is your opinion should be based in reality. Not your dismissal of fact.
Walker has measurable factual failures, such as Wisconsin losing more jobs than every other state in the past months, and you simply refuse to acknowlege these facts exist. So don't call me names. Because you look pretty loony.
No, the point is that every single year, for every single Congress and the budgets they make, as the CBO updates future budgets and current projections based upon changes to the tax base (our income, which constantly changes due to unemployment levels, etc), the figures change, and always have.
Calling it a "deliberate lie" is absurdly making personal the routine accounting procedures of this country.
And get real:
$75 billion difference in projected vs closer real-time projection? That is a
very accurate "what does the budget actually end up coming in at" figure! Our budget is trillions. $75 billion is nothing.
The truth is:
President Obama is far more fiscally conservative than every other single Presidential candidate now running, and also preserves and grows the social programs we depend upon to be a first world country, while massively improving our nations health care and overall quality of life.

In other words, you will never let your opinion be changed by the facts. That's absurd.
