Just 23 percent of independents approve of Obama's handling of the economy, which is funny, because I thought that his incessant talk about "deficits" was supposed to help him with independents?

Once again, for the billionth time—no one gives a shit about deficits. No one. Not even the teabaggers who claim they care about the deficit. No one cares.

People care about jobs. And austerity has never created a job. Quite the opposite, actually.
