To the GOP faithful: Ask and ye shall recieve
What's up with the budget?

How did Shrub run up a deficit and a public debt so astronomical that it has no modern parrallel outside of Weimar Germany?

Simple. He never says "no". He has never vetoed a spending bill.

His supporters in congress have gotten used to tacking on billions in pork to each bill and he always says yes. It is literally a situation where they "ask" and they "recieve".

What did Bush say announcing his tax cuts? It's the People's money!

Apparently it was the people's money to steal.

1. You know, foreign banks could call our debt at any time
If they do, we are fucked. Better brush up on a few other languages. What do they speak in Saudi Arabia? They own a chunk of our ass, don't they?

3. Start learning Mandarin
President Hu and his cronies hold the fate of the American economy in their hands. If the Chinese were to call in just a small portion of the US debt owned by their government, there would be seismic effects on the economy. By the end of the Chimp administration we will be sending our mortgage checks to Beijing.

2. You know what? I think that we liberals, and traditional conservatives,
can agree on one thing:

YOU SHOULDN'T SPEND A WHOLE FUCKLOAD OF MONEY THAT YOU DON'T HAVE!

6. Remember the mantra: free spending liberals vs fiscal conservatives.
We just need an Orwell dictionary, and it will all make sense.
