Why Do Republicans Want to Raise the Deficit?

[pghquest]

I guess we wont hear from another liberal on this thread after facts have been posted, showing that the debt skyrocketed after Democrats took over Congress..

Dont worry though Republicans, we'll see another duplicate thread of this in a month, by the very same left wing individuals who will ignore this, and then repost the very same thing.. over, and over, and over.. Its like they cant learn..

I find it interesting that Dick Cheney's "deficits don't matter" quote is often used by the Left as a foundation for castigating Republicans. Since when does the Vice President drive fiscal policy? The answer is NEVER. There's a legitimate argument that Republican Legislators are largely to blame for out of control spending (up until 2006). But it's disingenuous, at best, to start any discussion on debt/deficits with a quote from the Vice President when it's Congress who control the purse strings.

This fallacy, in my view, illustrates how liberals intentionally misconstrue tangibles in order to further their dishonest Agenda.

Our good Friend Pghquest brings up a solid point about those who never learn and would hope that he would hold his side of the aisle to the same standard. We have {R}s on this board that really believe that their party is fiscally conservative and when they regain power they will do something about the yearly debt. Here is what they will do from their GOP solutions website that was penned by the Boner and his fake conservative minions :

Under the Republican plan, deficits are $3.3 trillion lower for the 10-year budget period and fall below 3.0 percent of GDP over the 10-year period.

Compare the numbers to Obama :

The Office of Management and Budget now estimates that the total ten-year deficit will reach $9.05 trillion - $1.94 trillion or 27% more than the White House originally estimated in May.

Oh boy thank god for the Boner and those fiscally conservative {R}s instead of adding 9 trillion to the deficit they are only adding 6 trillion over 10 years.
So we have {R} posters chomping at the bit waiting for Nov to give the {D}s the boot and replacing them with what BIG SPENDING NEO CONS.
Does either side realize what a mess we are in? do they realize hardly no one wants our treasuries and the FR is becoming the biggest buyer? with Barnanke at the printing press what that is doing to the purchasing power of USD? I guess we are not to be concerned since the Boner and the {R}s are saving the day by only running up 6 trillion.
Now using that same standard about not learning, does the {R} plan sound like it is going to shrink the gvt?
