I remember it not being a priority as long as the gravy train kept going.
The GOP fucked up, plain and simple.
Well lets compare shall we? In 8 years the Congresses under Bush ran up a 5.7 trillion deficit. 4 years of that under Democratic control. Under Obama and the Democrats we have 3 trillion in LESS then 2 years, do the math.
So Republicans are bad, Democrats are worse. Welcome to 1994. How did that one work out?
AND Obama has promised to keep on spending like a drunken sailor. I would suggest that even if the Republicans were to spend like they did under Bush, we would still be better off then having the Dems in charge. 8 years 5.7 trillion or 8 years 12 trillion.
And that's where we disagree. The Republicans promised fiscal responsibility and greater prosperity. They failed. They set the stage for that whole "Hope" and "Change" bullshit. Look at where we are now.
Ya we should let the Dems keep running things.
Not my point at all, but liberal-lite being effectively marketed as "fiscal conservative" has done more damage.
