Wait, what? This Twitter user tries to get to the bottom of Fugelsang’s absurd tweet.

@JohnFugelsang Today's deficit was caused by the Iraq war? Come on, man.

Uh. Weird, since the budget deficit for 2013 is estimated at $845 billion.

@JohnFugelsang You mean $2T of the national debt, not the FY2013 deficit, right?

If you don't know the difference between the national debt and the annual deficit, maybe you shouldn't talk about fiscal woes of BUUUUUSH.

Zing! Rest easy, it’s not just math that is hard for Fugelsang.

Ppl saying today's bombings happened because we left Iraq forget that today's bombings happened because we invaded Iraq.
