The Republicans' platform is to cut the deficit but we can outdo them
That's all the Republicans are running on - the deficit that they caused!

The Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act (GLB), also known as the Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999 enacted Nov 99 thanks to the republican congress and led to the demise of the American Republic.

The same Republicans who enabled billions of unnecessary spending on wars.

The same Republicans who are going to add $2 billion to the deficit by repealing the Health Bill.

1. Except we re-established the tax cuts that caused them and added more cuts.

3. Did you see the people going on about how they are paying more taxes than last year?
People here are happy with their tax cuts and less happy if they didn't get as much as last year.

4. None of the people "going on" are rich.
It's the lowest income workers and people on fixed incomes who are paying more this year.
