Rep. Hoyer is right about one thing: "Well, we spent a lot of money when George Bush was president of the United States in the House and Senate were controlled by Republicans. We spent a lot of money."

While the Republicans did spend a lot of money from 2001 through 2006, they did not spend nearly as much as Democrats did when they controlled Congress from 2007 through 2010. The Democrat controlled Congress in two years had higher deficits than during all 12 years the Republicans controlled the House from 1995 through 2006 combined.

It is hillarious watching these fiscally irresponsible Democrats try to blame Republicans when Democrats have out spent everyone by such a huge margin.

You beat me to it. The democrats are completely incoherent on our debt problems. Not a one of them can acknowledge we have spending problem: first Obama tells that to Boehner, than Pelosi says it, now Hoyer. This is obviously official policy.

While Obama is home free electorally speaking, dems up for election in 2014 and 2016 are going to be extremely vulnerable. Obama is viewed very unfavorably on his handling of the economy and debt:

Obama has gotten a permanent pass, but let one of these merely mortal dem candidates say this stuff with a straight face: we have a "paying for" problem.

I might buy into this theme about the permanent demise of the GOP if democrats could actually govern effectively: but of course, they cannot.

Look at every poll conducted on spending cuts, most don't want cuts to the big 4 that drive our deficit. That means we need to actually pay for the services. We do have a paying for problem.
