Republican Myth Of Fiscal Responsibilty Put To The Lie
Most of us gray-haired Democrats are old enough to remember the Republicans claims that they were the party of fiscal responsibility, an oft-repeated meme that might have last been close to plausible while Gerry Ford was in the White House (Over 40 years ago!!!), but has been disproven multiple times in the decades since.
Ryans tax cut was the latest slap in the face not only to the struggling, the aged, the ailing, and the handicapped but to folks across the ideological spectrum who believed in Honest, responsible governance.
There is a kernel of truth in Ryans statement, though. Trillion-dollar deficits ARE inevitableIF YOU ELECT REPUBLICANS!!!
