You are cordially invited to steal this picture, medallion, or whatever you call it. Drag and drop it to your desktop. Attach it to your e-mails and send to friends. Post it on your blog if you are as annoyed as I am about Tempest in a Tea Bag Day. All rights are hereby waived.
The Teflon Gang who organized Tempest in a Tea Bag Day know damn well who should take the blame for the economic mess in which we find ourselves. Don’t let them get away with this political game of diversion and deception. So go ahead, take it, and go viral.
Our current national debt, also known as sovereign debt, is currently $11 trillion dollars. Deficit spending by three, successive Republican administrations accounts for $9 trillion of the total … a whopping 82%. Yet, Republicans want to pin their transgressions on the Democrats, and specifically the Obama administration, in an attempt to derail important legislation designed to fix this mess.
Nine out of 11 trillion dollars in total! What an interesting ratio! It reminds me of another 9/11, but undoubtedly any reference to the terrorist attack of 9/11 would surely offend.
Octopus will even customize it for you, if you wish, as an extra incentive to get the message out. So go ahead, take it, post it, and go viral.

Mission accomplished. Thanks Octo.
I usually prefer to steal stuff without being invited, but since you asked so nicely. And BTW, it is a lovely depiction of the TRUTH.
It would be nice to have a link that gives a breakdown under each Administration since 1980. I'll start looking (over at 'AngryBear' first) & post one if I can find it.
Thanks for this.

Finn, I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for. But, it's pretty cool, so I'll drop it in here anyway.
Truth for pompous twits: the "tea baggers" don't support the Republicans: http://patterico.com/files/2009/04/republicans-suck-too.jpg
