Eight Things The Public "Knows"

But don't

1. President Obama reduced the debt
2. President Obama reduced taxes.
3. President Bush and his Treasury Secretary (and former Goldman Sachs CEO) Paulson bailed out the banks.
4. The stimulus worked but would have been more effective had it been bigger.
5. Businesses need DEMAND for their products, not tax cuts, before they will start hiring.
6. Health Care Reform will save the government $138B (that's $138,000,000,000) over the next 10 years.
7. Social Security has run a surplus since its inception and is sound for the foreseeable future.
8. Government spending does NOT remove money from the economy.  It is We, The People spending on We, The People.
