Daily Reminder # 276

Going a bit political again tonight because I think this is important and Stephen Colbert managed to make it funny at the same time. 

Thought this graphic describing the comparative benefits to the economy of the tax cuts for the wealthy vs. GOP's proposals for how to balance the budget. is worth sharing too.  It speaks for itself, I think, but you can go here to Americans for Progress to get an explanation of the content.
