Is it simply a matter of the Right-Wing sharks smelling blood in the financial waters?

They really don't understand any of this do they?

I shall try to explain so that even the DUmmies can understand this.
Our deficit is like one day you start waking up with back pain, for years you may be able to shrug it off and live with it, well as the years go by it gets worse and worse, then one day you can't get out of bed, so you finally go to the doctor and get something done about it.

That is how the debt is working, it started off small then over time got bigger and bigger, now it is so huge that it is risking crippling our nation, so our nation has seen a doctor, (the tea party and the house) they have prescribed medication, we took the script to the pharmacy, (the senate and president) and they refused to fill it. So we went back to the doctor who wrote another script and the pharmacy is still refusing to fill it.

Question: What is different now compared to before?

Its almost 15 trillion dollars that's what different you idiot. This goes so much deeper than 0bama. If McCain was POTUS the tea party would be on his ass if he was doing the same thing and you goons would be joining in. We are trying to save what is left of our country, this is not about party it's about right and wrong.

Someone is in charge that is trying to actually DO something about it, and its going to effect your "rights" to your free ride/cheeto/pizza/drug budget.

And yet these DUmmies were bitching a blue streak when we had "record deficits!" under Bush, and damned if they weren't so proud of the "balanced budget" (which really wasn't) under Clinton.

No, you tool, it's the fact we've never been this far from land, in water this deep, and caught in a rip tide before.
