Sorry, though, your facts are false. Since a picture is worth a thousand words, here's a picture for you to study closely before repeating your lie about "Bush...running up greater deficits than Obama...." http://blog.heritage.org/2010/02/05/past-deficits-vs-obamas-deficits-in-pictures/ Not that I actually think you'll repent, but there's always hope for redemption.

Kudlow and the others when Bush was running up greater deficits than Obama could even imagine? Wait, they were pushing for tax cuts for the top 1% under the discredited notion of supply-side economics. Welfare state? How about corporate welfare? How about farm welfare? How about pro sports welfare? As for Mdm. de Rugy, she once argued for legalizing money laundering. 'Nuff said. And where we Messrs.

This is a today problem! Hoping or worrying that the problem can be pushed aside for a generation is ludicrous. Or am I being too literal? and all these people mean to say is they don't want to pay for their own mistakes and will dump it on others who played no part in them. Seems THAT has been going on for generations already though...
