Yay, more debt for our country to deal with, more debt our children will have to pay!

If the GOP thinks this will save their *ass this midterm, they are dead wrong. In times of prosperity,we should be working with a surplus, not incure more debt our children have to deal with.

We've been hearing the story about our children having to suffer the consequences for years/elections. When is that really going to happen? Seems like we are always going to be in debt.

and corporate revenue dropped off a cliff causing 7% total decline in revenue. Budget gap is up 16%. Remember when conservatives used to care about that???

Taxes be raised on whom? The 47% of people who don't pay but rake in all the benefits?

That's a great idea that I can get behind.
