1. But the republicans will tell you that the reason the deficit goes up
is because the Democrats in office before them were to blame.

Reagan built a deficit because of Carter

And dubya's deficit is because of Clinton

That is their usual comeback when you show them the money. Doesn't explain daddy bu$h though.

2. Fiscal conservative, my ass
Neocons are the most wasteful spenders there might ever be.

4. And then there's republican like my brother
Who say: "Bush is doing a good job.....you just can't except that your guy lost so you'll say anything to make Bush look bad" ---and--- "Why do you worry about this kind of stuff, it doesn't affect you"

Oh.......And he's a Los Angeles county Deputy Sheriff. *sigh*

3. The National Debt is currently INCREASING at over $100,000.00 a SECOND
Talk about a spending spree.. We are currently paying interest on our debt at over a half million dollars a minute. Think how a days worth of interest payments would help your community..
