10. Truth is a very difficult thing to pin down.

Nothing is really black and white, as you stated in your post below. Someone can say that our spending is too high compared to our GDP. I can say that our GDP is too low because of the economic problems brought on by the collapse that Bush brought us.

And if we are to blame the Democrats in charge from 2007 for the economy instead of blaming the President, doesn't it follow that we can blame the Republicans for the mess we still have today instead of blaming the President. That sword cuts both ways. In searching for "truth", no one should be able to pose one truth in one instance, but turn that upside-down when it suits their agenda.

Welcome to DU, echo.
