Where was all this concern over the deficit amount when the republics were in charge?
I swear, aside from tax cuts, I keep hearing that we are burdening our children and grandchildren. Well, I actually agree with that part of it, but they didn't utter a word when they were adding 5 trillion dollars to it. Argh

You are either politically deaf, a moron, or a complete liar.

Come on Undies.

Everyone knows that there wer 20 million Iraqis killed and the deficit went up 25 trillion.

Back to reality.  The last budget (& for the lurking Constitutional scholars that are here) passed by a republican congress was less than a 180 billion. The first one under democrat control was the all time topper of 480 billion and the present one by a DEMOCRAT congress is going to end up north of 1800 billion.  Good to have the children in charge.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.
