I saw this quote today in InPrint magazine. I like it. I live it.

Futile Devices
Hannah (The Storialist) recommended that I draw this lyric by Sufjan Stevens (From his newest album Futile Devices) via my Tumblr. I thought it was a great idea! If you’re on Tumblr you can send me suggestions or questions as well and I’ll most likely post them.
Don’t Make Excuses
Don’t make excuses. Make good. I love this quote—words to live by! I decided to record a video of this drawing because people have seemed to enjoy seeing the process in the past. The filming angle isn’t great—which is due to my crappy setup. I’m hoping to figure out a way to record more overhead soon. Buy a print (and more) of this at Society 6.
Contradictions
Lately, Republicans have been expressing a tremendous amount of concern about the deficit. It turns out the Bush tax cuts (which nearly all go to the richest 1% and that are supposed to expire at the end of the year) are the single largest chunk of our deficit. If they are allowed to expire the budget would instantly shrink by about 30% or $300,000,000,000. So in typical Republican (read: Politician) tradition, they are contradicting themselves because they do NOT want these tax cuts to expire. One argument they have is that if we give the rich tax cuts they will spend money and stimulate the economy—there is no proof of this ever working. Their other argument is that “the tax cuts will help small businesses!” But, how many small-business owners do you know that are making multiple-millions per year? I know I’m certainly not.
Deficit
All this talk about the deficit from Republicans lately made me think about what Cheney said in 2002, “Deficits don’t matter.” He said this in response to former Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill’s warning that there was a looming fiscal crisis. O’Neill said “The growing budget deficits—expected to top $500 billion this fiscal year alone—pose a threat to the economy.” A month later Cheney fired him.
