What were we libs thinking suggesting your massive tax cuts for the rich were bad for the country? What were we thinking when we suggested that a deficit approaching 9 trillion dollars will break the bank in the longterm to pay for your short term stimulus to corporations and the wealthiest Americans?
You are a loser George. No matter how you try and spin it. An increase in the deficit spending smaller than you predict is still massive deficit spending ass. I guess that does not matter as long as you can convince the "back wash" that you are not a total failure.
L-O-S-E-R!
