On Tuesday’s Your World, President-elect of the Heritage Foundation Jim DeMint spoke about Democrats calling Rep. Paul Ryan’s budget “draconian” and “extreme.” DeMint said, “I don’t think the Democrats even have a right to criticize. The only budgets we’ve seen from this President have been budgets that nearly double our debt over the next 10 years. …I applaud Paul Ryan and the Republicans for stepping out, being willing to take the criticism, but like you said, Neil, balancing the budget over a 10 year period is hardly extreme, and if we don’t do it, all of us know we’re going to bankrupt our country.”

Later, DeMint said “They don’t present any solutions, and that’s their whole strategy is not to put anything out on the table and just criticize the Republicans who feel like they have a responsibility to rein in this spending.” He also called the President “irresponsible as a leader, we elected him to solve these kind of problems, he’s ignored them and made them worse.”

But DeMint is not telling the truth. The deficit is dwindling. As WhiteHouse.gov notes, President Obama has reduced it by $2.5 trillion, cutting spending by $1.4 trillion, the lowest level as a share of the economy since the Eisenhower years. He finds savings in entitlement programs, and asks the rich to pay more. Obama's solutions are just not the ones that Republicans like.

Neil Cavuto accepted DeMint's falsehoods as truth.
