Republicans added $5 trillion dollars to the debt in last eight years...

[kentuck]

...and left the new President a trillion dollar deficit. And now, they have suddenly transformed into Scrooge conservatives. They are pinching pennies and are deeply concerned about Barack Obama's jobs bill that is estimated to be slightly less than $1 trillion dollars. They finally have that old time religion.

When George W Bush was asking for supplementals of $185 billion dollars to fight the war in Iraq, they never batted an eye. When they kept raising the national debt limit beyond $6 trillion, beyond $7 trillion, beyond $10 trillion!, they never batted an eye. But now, in their attempt to create a new "identity", they have suddenly become very concerned about fiscal responsibility.

I have a word for them: HYPOCRITES!

1. Gee, you'd think this would make the nooz

But it's the first I've heard of it. Deficits and the national debt increased under Republican stewardship? Who knew? Certainly not the bulldogs of the Fourth Estate.

2. I saw one of them ( I couldn't identify him by sight) say

"if you spent a million dollars a day from the time of Jesus's birth (!) to today, you would not have spent a trillion dollars"

I haven't checked his math, but he made it sound like he had never before heard the figure "trillion". It is beyond belief.

3. I heard that too. I think it Mitch McConnell.

:puke:

6. No, someone else. I don't have any problem identifying Mitch. nt

4. I believe their plan was and still is to have no social welfare programs at all.

That's why all the push for tax cuts. They have drained the treasury hoping that only military spending would remain. They thought they would hold onto power. They didn't count on anyone increasing the deficit but that's what we have to do.

This shitty economy was planned by those who would not be hurt by it.

The repukes should be made to sit down and shut the fuck up!

5. Had they invested that money in America

then we wouldn't have to spend this money now. They ruined the economy by stupid spending and ignoring the social structure of America. Now it will take much more money to fix it then it would of took just to maintain it. That they don't understand it, shows they are crap ass at their jobs and should resign now.

7. Yes...Hyocrites! Given their history...bringing our Country down...

Yet, our Dems refuse to call a "spade a spade." Or, to say if it "Walks like a duck...quacks like a Duck...then it IS A DUCK!

What else can one say ...except that after all these years where Progressives built the NetRoots...they still don't get it. :shrug:

8. they should be hung, really.

9. He more than doubled the nation debt over his 8 years in power.
