Recently Republicans have been focusing on the national debt, and deficits. Now, history has shown us that this is a complete Flip-Flop for republicans who, for the past 30 years, have set records for high deficits and national debt during the Reagan, and Bush Jr. years. During the last 8 years, the Bush administration spent like drunken sailors, and when quetioned on this members of the administration said: "'Reagan proved deficits don't matter", and "We won the (2002) midterms. This is our due." After all, this is the party that cared so much about deficits that they fought to get rid of PayGo. So can anyone explain why anyone would believe these guys?

Yes, both the Republicans and the Democrats have proven beyond a doubt that neither care about deficits or debt. Both have had control of each house of Congress and the White House and they both wasted money beyond reason. They both promised audits and investigations, but never delivered. They both knowingly allowed fraud and waste to run rampant and unchecked.

On the other hand, neither Congressional Democrats or Republicans have worked for the causes the parties claim to care about.

They're both a waste.

I do agree with what you are saying Ted. But, why do democrats always have to fix the economy when republicans screw it up?


myLot reputation of 60/100. ParaTed2k (4591)   ranked 27 out of 46 in left sided politics  4 months ago

Why did Reagan have to fix the last "worst economy since the depression" after that complete moron Carter play acted at president in the late 70s?

True Ted, but Clinton had to clean up the mess left by Reagan, and now Obama has to clean up the mess that Bush left. Do you see a pattern here?

....Hi yah, deficits only seems to matter when the other party is in charge. If you look at the whole picture, with China holding the mortgage on the country, so to speak, we can only hope that they don't call in the debt owed. The other thing is the fact that the government is printing money without any gold behind it, reportedly going to pull the cash out of the system before too much inflation takes place, we are in quite a pickle. I look for my game shows to leave reality behind. I say bring in the Boy and Girl Scouts to run the country, they would do just as good a job. Waiting for weeks for a health care reform plan and what we get is almost garbage. Have a good weekend.
