Deficit More Than Cut in Half Since 2009

[Ohio Joe]

Via President Obama's Twitter:

The Office of Management and Budget and the Department of the Treasury today released the fiscal year (FY) 2013 budget results, which show that we are continuing to make significant progress in reducing the deficit. The final 2013 deficit was $680 billion, $409 billion less than the 2012 deficit and $293 billion less than forecast in President Obama’s April Budget. As a percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the deficit fell to 4.1 percent, representing a reduction of more than half from the deficit that the Administration inherited when the President took office in 2009. The deficit reduction since that point represents the fastest decline in the deficit over a sustained period since the end of World War II.

3. And this Admin did it while

paying for l'il bush's 2 wars, and paying to fix the economy the repugs wrecked.

And did it with one hand tied behind their backs via repug obstruction in the House and Senate.
