I wonder where the GOPers concern for the deficit was when...
They created the biggest agency in the history of America, or when they sent all them pallets of hundred dollar bills to Iraqi crooks and murderers, or when they awarded all those no bid cost plus contracts to Blackwater, Halliburton, KB&R and any other corporation that bribed them "honorable" republicans, with political cash and gifts, or when Bush sent $50,000,000 to the Talliban a couple of months before the attack on 9/11?

3. why doesn't media call the repubs out on this hypocrisy?
Why won't our journalist? in the msm ask the repub leaders where their fiscal responsibility was during the Iraq debacle which was not even included in the budget. Where were the tea baggers then?

5. Republicans once proudly proclaimed "Reagan proved Deficits don't matter"
As they continued to create record deficits year after year...for the entire eight years of the Bush* Rule.

7. It's hard to believe that so many Americans are stupid enough to
vote for republicans, unless they are wealthy beyond the point of caring what happens to their country.

8. It is a manufactured crisis
As MannyGoldstein pointed out, the annual deficit will disappear in 3 years if nothing is done:

9. Just think how broke we'd be if Bush...
Hadn't been on Vacation for four years out of the eight years he was pResident and flying our jets a million mile to and from GOP fundraisers and photo ops the rest of the time. If W would have stayed in DC all that time, we'd have had to pawn the DoD to China.

10. Yeah...
we never have found out where the missing 9 billion went to in Iraq. I have heard since it is even more than 9b.

I remember watching clips over the internet of soldiers passing out money.

HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN republiCONS or did some of you even know you were so far up Bush's ass!!!

Some RepubliCONS run their damn mouths but don't know half of what was going on during the bush years and how we got to where we are now..
