Oh, after the election they said, ``Oh, by the way,''--the previous administration--``Oh, by the way, the deficit is going to be $50 billion a year bigger every year than we told you. But go ahead and do everything you said you were going to do before. Sorry we didn't tell you that.'' Audience members. You broke your promise!
