Rep. Chris Gibson is caught misrepresenting budget deficits with his own graph.

Rep. Chris Gibson's town hall meeting on April 26th was well attended, with the large meeting room at the Malta Community Center filled to capacity.    The questions were excellent, with the largest number deeply concerned about Republican plans to turn Medicare into an ill-funded voucher program.   Gibson ducked and weaved most of the evening, but the best moment of the night came when Al Ormsby of Saratoga Springs caught Gibson misrepresenting budget deficits with his own graph.   When Ormsby boxed Gibson in the illogic of his own position, Gibson finally simply gave up, unable to answer.
