The Myth of Republican Fiscal Responsibility

[packman]

"When it comes down to it, history will show Obama as a fiscally responsible president, just as it shows Republicans as fiscally irresponsible. But for today, we will continue to hear constant hyperbole about Obama’s debt and how it is somehow his own creation. But it is not his creation, and neither is income inequality, which Republicans have now decided to blame on Obama as well. This is what they do; create a filthy mess, leave a mop for Democrats to clean it with, and then scream and bicker at them as they stand over it, cleaning. This myth of Republican fiscal responsibility will be pushed hard in the coming year, but reality tells a much different story."

Article presents a history of Republican mismanagement of the nation's finances.

1. I thought about it a while and believe you are right

I at first thought, "No, it's an outright lie!" But no, it's obviously false. What they have is "Fiscal Irresponsibility". So it's either sarcasm or a myth. I'm going with myth; repiggies don't do humor, though they'll tell you otherwise (mind you, without recognizing how funny that is!).

...this is the kind of stuff Democrats should be talking about, not the HIllary-Bernie dogfight the media wants to foment.
