Generating more income and borrowing are certainly known to every family.

But, it's good that the TV idiots do, on occasion, point out the obvious, rather than sit silently between one Republican telling his or her version and one Democrat telling his or her version.

It's not all about competing idea (read competing propaganda)

Facts do still matter, regardless of the formats the television idiots choose to adopt.
