<br />
<span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 0);"><em><strong><span style="font-size: larger;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;I first want to thank the chair of our committee, the budget committee, for doing such a terrific job in bringing us all together. My colleagues on the committee, as we all know, we worked very, very hard together in order to be able to put together a balanced budget that reflects the values of the American people, that&rsquo;s fair, that&rsquo;s balanced in values and approach as well as in numbers, and we did that.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &mdash; Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), remarks on the Senate floor, May 8, 2013</span></strong></em></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">The real question is can it possibly be true? Absolutely not! Miss Debbie is truly delusional, but she was reelected.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">The truth is thatthe&nbsp; Budget Committee figures show hundreds of billions of dollars in deficits year after year, with $566 billion in deficits at the end of the 10-year period and around $5.2 trillion will be added to the national debt over the same period.</span><br />
