To the GOP the national debt is only important when they are out of power.
When they're IN power then its SPEND! CUTS TAXES OR BILLIONAIRES! and SPEND SPEND SPEND some more on DEFENCE AND WARS OF EMPIRE.
editec has been re-reading the highlights of the playbook again. The rhetorical talking pointlesses just keep on coming!
Witnhessing the 40 years of both parties playing this game does tend to make one less sympathetic to their lies, that is true.
Tell me, how much has the national debt gone down during REPUBLICAN ADMISTRATIONS during your lifetime?
During mine, the answer is ZERO.
Not that the Dems did much better, but still...facts are facts.
The GOP has never cared about the national debt until they are out of power.
Then, of course, they become terribly concerned about it.
