Problem is, the Dems do herculean work, often cutting social programs, to get the deficit down, and then a GOPer gets in and squanders it.

Look at Bush, who inherited a BALANCED BUDGET, and saw it as a great opportunity to invade Iraq.

He pissed off that Clinton surplus in a NY minute.

Dems re-take the White House...

Stories like this (and their complete lack of outrage) need to be bookmarked for later.

I am sick of these peeps ... doing the same shit and then blaming everyone else for their own profligacy

I have been amazed at how seldom we hear that word anymore.

we're already tired of winning.

they are radical greedheads, now compromised by getting into bed with the freaking russians who are making war on the USA. Republicans have betrayed the USA in every way imaginable.

Better yet, just fwd your uncle's cranky emails from 2009 back to him. After all, he's still "taxed enough already".

Do the ptb think we are that stupid as to not remember the trillion dollar tax cut they just bestowed to the oligarchy?

If that were the rule, the tax cuts would have to be rescinded to fix it, the tariffs (which means the economic policymaker & crew), and right on down the line to include the military budget pared back to less than 45% of our total budget.

When the repugs have all three branchs they spend like drunken sailors with not one word said about the defict.

No growth,no real hiring no nothing. Maybe a new 25M Biz jet here and there but NOTHING in the way or real growth. As usual the meat of tax cuts are given to those who don't need them,everyone else gets $1.50 a week and it does NOTHING. The Stock market rise was smoke and mirrors BS--down another 208 points today.

Remember the Dems on the Bush.IDIOT tax cut?? It would either get you a new Lexus or a muffler depending on your situation.

He'd balance the budget? lol. Its opposite of his claim again, and wants to drive us into deeper debt to crash the economy.
