Paul Ryan and the other Republicans talk a good game now about the need for fiscal responsibility and reining in spending. But they have been a big part of the problem, Lisa Lerer writes on Bloomberg:

... , House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell all voted for major drivers of the nation’s debt during the past decade: Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the 2001 and 2003 Bush tax cuts and Medicare prescription drug benefits. They also voted for the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP, that rescued financial institutions and the auto industry.

Together, according to data compiled by Bloomberg News, these initiatives added $3.4 trillion to the nation’s accumulated debt and to its current annual budget deficit of $1.5 trillion.
Since 2001, the debt has grown from $5.8 trillion to $14.3-trillion. Republicans controlled the White House eight of the last 10 years and had control of the entire government for four of those years.

Paul Ryan scripts what ever his bosses at ALEC tell him to say... They are his model legislators...

1. Which is why Obama's repeated claims that "both parties are to blame"

is DISHONEST and POLITICAL SUICIDE.

The Repukes are despicable, and the president is pathetic
