Democrats are NOT for a balanced budget nor Fiscal responsibility. Every time they have had an opportunity to vote on either of those, they vote no. Democrats are tax and spend, they not only raise taxes but when they do rather then use it to balance the budget or be fiscally responsible they spend MORE.
Remind us how the dems voted on allowing Social Security funds to ONLY be used for Social Security? Remind us who controlled congress in the 90's and forced Clinton to go along with "fiscal responsibility"? Remind us in the 90's who insisted Social Security was going broke, did nothing about it and then when Bush brought it up suddenly the system is sound and safe?
All spin, baby!.....
The facts, Jack!...
In his memoir, ``The Age of Turbulence: Adventures in a New World,'' the former Federal Reserve chairman skewers President George W. Bush and congressional Republicans for what he said was reckless spending and a politically driven economic agenda and said they deserved to lose control of Congress in 2006. By contrast, he praised former President Bill Clinton, a Democrat, and his economic record.
Greenspan's words are likely to echo throughout next year's campaigns for president and Congress.
``Democrats will taunt the Republicans with this and they will have to address it,'' said James Carville, who ran Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign. ``This is not coming from some shoe clerk.''

In other words, your guys spend like drunken sailors.
