Setting records. Making moves.

The Treasury Department said Monday that the deficit grew by $232 billion in February. That increased the imbalance through the first five months of the budget year to $581 billion, or 9 percent less than the same period in fiscal 2011.

The government last recorded a surplus in 2001. The deficits grew again after President George W. Bush won approval for broad tax cuts, pushed a major drug benefit program for seniors and launched the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan.

The imbalance grew even further during President Barack Obama’s administration. Tax revenues plummeted ... unemployment soared and corporate profits fell. The Obama administration also stepped up spending.

CBO estimates that if Congress extends the tax cuts, as they have in the past, and if they block the spending cuts, the deficit will remain near $900 billion or higher for the next 10 years.

-There's considerable skepticism about Barack Obama's religion with Republican voters in them. In Mississippi only 12% of voters think Obama's a Christian to 52% who think he's a Muslim and 36% who are not sure. In Alabama just 14% think Obama's a Christian to 45% who think he's a Muslim and 41% who aren't sure.

to be fair, a sizable portion of the poll respondents also "aren't sure" if the war for southern independence is officially over
