Oh, and by the way, while we were talking about rubbers...

The federal deficit last month set a new record, as it increased by $229 billion.   That's after January's monthly budget deficit of a measly $223 million.   So the Obama Administration managed to spend in the first two months of this year only about $452 billion more than they took in.   On an annualized basis, hmmm, let's see, multiply by six, carry the one....

So I guess while this ship goes down, we might as well rearrange the deck chairs and pass out the birth control pills.
