Well the "Big Lie" was illustrated by Hitler in Mien Kampf. "All this was inspired by the principle - which is quite true in itself - that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously."
In today's speech the President stated that the Republicans had been responsible for the last ten years of policy that caused the economic problems we currently have including the soaring deficits. Overlooking obviously that fact the the Democratic party has been in charge of Congress since 2006 and in complete control of the government since 2008.
These people continue to continue down the same path even though the approval rating for this Congress approaches single digits. These people keep on telling the "Big Lie".
Google to your hearts content and find all you need to know about the time line to the rise in deficits and stimulus spending, rising unemployment etc etc. Not that the GOP has been any great shakes in stemming this rising tide.
Our government continues the pile one spending bill on top of another, none have even taken the time to look at what we are currently spending on, what we have set up in the past, if we still need these programs, if these programs are being run efficiently, if anybody cares is the American taxpayer is getting shortchanged or not.
This is an area where the Teaparty could make great strides by beginning to elect people who will take a good look at the books and sunset some of the outdated spending programs and agencies.
Get involved, let the elected officials know we need to spring clean the government and rid ourselves

“Remember that a government big enough to give you everything you want is also big enough to take away everything you have."--Barry Goldwater
If we give the government the power to confiscate our arms we also give up the ultimate means to combat that corrupt power. In doing so we can only assure that we will eventually be totally subject to it.” —Ronald Reagan
