I need a memory refresher; were the rethugs,

[babylonsister]

Buchanan included (who I just heard spewing on m$nbc about cutting Amtrak funding, education, etc., and how it was 'so' necessary), so very concerned about the deficit when idiot son had the reins?

I'm just not coming up with anything comparable to their outrage now. Anyone? :shrug:

2. "the deficit doesn't matter" I remember that Cheney quote

I used to ask my congressman, R- Jim Leach, a renowned fiscal conservative, about the debt every quarter town hall. And I would get a non answer every time.
Nope not concerned at all.

3. *crickets*

Of course not - Situational ethics.

They are hypocrites.

4. We need to keep reminding people of that.

And the fact that should they get the white house again in 2012 (unlikely) or 2016 etc... they would promptly start deficit spending AGAIN.
