""Don't saddle future generations with debt..." , except for about $1 TRILLION to fund invasions and occupations of oil-rich Middle Eastern nations, to whom we used to ship major amounts of armaments.
What does it matter anymore? There is already more government debt than can ever be paid off in my or my children's lifetime. Might as well add a litte bit more
Except the Rs wanted to add a LOT MORE. IIRC their tax cut proposal would have added between 3 and 4 times the amount to your kids and grandkids.
Some Republican nuggets (or t**ds) about the deficit from the past;
Ronald Reagan; "I think the deficit is big enough to take care of itself."
Dick Cheney; "If Reagan proved one thing, it's that deficits don't matter."

For Obama's stimulus". Instead Republicans want to saddle future generations with between THREE AND FOUR TIMES THE DEBT, for their tax cuts!
Three words for the Rs in the House and Senate; hypocrites, liars, and LOSERS. Try again in 2010, but don't expect any better results.

I'm just curious, being a dumb liberal maybe you can explain to me who is going to be saddled with the financial burden of the war in Iraq, the supposed WMD and the lie about the connection between Iraq and Osama Bin Laden??
Was that whole thing free or is Iraq going to pay for it or did Bush just have some pocket change laying around from his dealings with UAE oil men.
