Well, shoot! I can't post the chart.

It is a chart (supposedly backed up with references, but it doesn't list the page number/column, etc.) of comparing various areas of government rule between The Reign of George and Obama. For instance, price of gas, sugar cane, number unemployed, median household income, number Blacks employed, number on food stamps, number in poverty, U.S. rank in economic freedom ranking, dollar vs. yen, etc.

Their references are the Wall Street Journal, Census Bureau, Dept. Labor,Realty Trac, Standard & Poor's/Case Schiller, Heritage Foundation, Conference Board, FDIC, etc., but they just assigned them a number and listed it as their reference for each claim. So, where do you go at the Heritage Foundation to find the information?

Looks good, but I can't check it out without them telling me what they used to make the comment. The problem is, however, most people won't bother. They will think it looks legit and quote it.

Thanks, anyway. I had my deck of cards and cribbage board all ready to take to the dungeon. Maybe next time?

Peace!
