Of course they have! They said the words and talked the talk and when they got the chance, they gave their promise of austerity to their rich friends. They agreed to borrow more money from China to prop up the rich. HYPOCRITES! They said what they had to, to win Congress. Now, back yo the game plan. I am sure furture speak Boner will cry his way out of this as he hands out checks on the House floor again...
But the Tea Baggers are watching and will make the GOP wish they have stuck to their word. Sarah and her half demented crowd with make them all suffer in 2012.

Now deanie-weanie, the OP clearly stated that this thread was an indictment of the uncontrolled spending of Democrats,...whoever read the OP to you must have left out that part.
Could you define "only "rich people" ?
I hate to burden you in that way...let me help:
1. The unspoken assumption is that there is something morally wrong with inequalities. Where is the explanation of what would be a fair share for the wealthy to give up? Irving Kristol, as editor of Public Interest, wrote to professors who had written about the unfairness of income distribution, asking them to write an article as to what a fair distribution would be; he has never gotten that article. Irving Kristol, Neoconservative: the Autobiography of an Idea, p. 166
2. Who are the rich that are so envied, and reviled? Entrepreneurs, small businessmen, corporate executives, doctors, lawyers, just plain Americans not royalty. The reason to deprive them of rewards with no tangible benefits to oneself: envy.
a. Everyone, it seems, wants to believe that he is just as good as the next guy, and in a democracy, the government adds its authority by the leveling process. But what his heart whispers to him, and the law proclaims, the society around him incessantly denies: certain people are richer, more powerful than he, others are reputed to be wiser, more intelligent. The contradiction between social reality and the combined wishes of his heart and the law, therefore incites and nourishes a devouring passion in everyone: the passion for equality. It will never cease until social reality is made to conform with his and the laws wishes. Pierre Manent, An Intellectual History of Liberalism, p. 107-8.
b. The tried and true strategy for coping with the knowledge that others are a cut above, is to find a way to bring down the more fortunate. And so the leveling process grinds insensately on. The Wall Street Journal recently reprinted a Kurt Vonnegut story, which the paper retitled "It Seemed Like Fiction" Vonnegut saw the trend and envisioned the day when Americans would achieve perfect equality: persons of superior intelligence required to wear mental handicap radios that emit a sharp noise every twenty seconds to keep them from taking unfair advantage of their brains, persons of superior strength or grace burdened with weights, those of uncommon beauty forced to wear masks. Hard Truths About the Culture War
Envy, deanie....it's your envy.
So you think "rich people" are somehow "better"? Now that is hilarious. But it certainly defines the Republican Party. Next, they'll be electing Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie, both "a CUT above".
Deanie, deanie, deanie....
It's so cute the way you struggle to understand the post, and then figure out an answer based on those big wooden alphabet blocks that you toss to make up a post!
Maybe I can help...
1. You were asked to define 'rich people'...I knew that would be over your head, so...
2. I helped you by listing "Entrepreneurs, small businessmen, corporate executives, doctors, lawyers, just plain Americans"
The point here was that there is no class of hereditary rich people, as over 90% of the rich made their money...
"New figures from Smart Money show that only 3% of millionaires inherited their wealth. That means 97% earned their vast fortune themselves. Smart Money also reports that 80% of millionaires are extra thrifty shoppers. Many of them even clip coupons! "

3. But it must have hurt when they read this line to you: "...certain people are richer, more powerful than he, others are reputed to be wiser, more intelligent...'
Sorry.
4. And, if you understood the satire, I'll bet you hated the Vonnegut story, huh?
5. And the best part, your 'denouement' where you identify that you understood no part of the post: "So you think "rich people" are somehow "better"?
Classic, deanie, classic!
Absolutely no comprehension!
Deanie, I do so apprecieate your holding yourself up for public ridicule!
I think you should so identify yourself as 'Comic Relief!'

When democrats start being "Fiscal Responsibility" you can call republicans HYPOCRITES!

"The North American Free Trade Agreement or NAFTA is an agreement signed by the governments of Canada, Mexico, and the United States, creating a trilateral trade bloc in North America. The agreement came into force on January 1, 1994. It superseded the Canada-United States Free Trade Agreement between the U.S. and Canada. In terms of combined purchasing power parity GDP of its members, as of 2007[update] the trade bloc is the largest in the world and second largest by nominal GDP comparison.
The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has two supplements, the North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation (NAAEC) and the North American Agreement on Labor Cooperation (NAALC)."

So...who was President on December 8, 1993?
Must have been a Republican...
But this is what I love about empty barrels like you, Rocks....you have grown up under the motto "Being Liberal Means Never Having To Say You're Sorry."
Carry on.

Clearly by the tone of your posts your are implying that being rich equals being smarter, more hardworking and better and not being rich equals being jealous, envious, resentful, less smart and less hardworking, typical Republitard, extreme capitalist BS.
And behind every job sent overseas is a Republican.

You're talking to the kind of people who think a teacher making 60,000 a year is overpaid.
1937 Social Security Democrats
1938 Fanny Mae Democrats
1965 Medicare Democrats
1970 Freddie Mac Democrats
1979 CRA Democrats
1992 Cuomo HUD/ Clinton Democrats
2010 Obamacare Democrats
Those darn Democrats. Helping people to put away money for their old age. Helping people own "homes". "Helping people".
Republicans help 1.7% of the top income earners. I guess they feel "quality above quantity". For Republicans, only "rich people" matter. Everyone else? Not so much.

I am not at all shy about my beliefs, and write quite a bit...why, then do you feel it necessary to fabricate my attitudes?
Unless you can provide a post of mine where I have said that, you have identified yourself as a putrid prevaricator.
Again.

I think the non-pretentious word you were looking for was 'liar'. Be brief, concise, and to the point and you will make many here much less likely to ignore your painfully long tortuous ramblings, which, I can assure you, most are doing now.
If you wish to state, unequivocally, that you don't think teachers making 60,000 a year are overpaid,
then I'll stand corrected on the error of over-generalization.
