Economy, the 2012 Election, and More

The first article is the best article I've seen (with supporting graph) of the difference between the Paul Ryan budget proposal and the 2 proposals from Obama.  The second article is like the first, and shows a great graphic on how the Obama big government approach can't hold water to the Reagan small government approach:

• The Keynesian Growth Discount - WSJ

I found a paragraph way down the article to be the most news worthy here.  Only 38% of Americans think that Obama was definitely born in America.  That is amazing to me.  If you did the same survey for any previous President, would you get any less than 80%?  There are always kooks that will say otherwise, but I can't imagine any President has ever been questioned on their nationality to this degree.
