I find it interesting that the deficit hawks come outta the woodwork every time there is a dem in the White House but crawl back in their holes when the Repubs control it... It also interesting to look at which political party tends to be the big spenders...

So now we have all these Repubs complaining about the deficits... These deficits where predicted 3 years ago based on irresponsible spendiong by the Repubs and the tax cuts, again by the Repubs...

Now we are faced with the realities of their fiscal mismanagement and they want to blame Obama... Let's get real here for just one minute... These problems were the boobie traps that Bush left for the next administartion regardless of which party won the '08 elections... That is the real story here...

Also in the area of "real story"... Other than flat-earth economists most every other economists says that with a very weak economy this is not the time to take more money out of circulation... The private sector isn't spending and so, at least until it does, the government is going to have to... In other words, these economists, Paul Klugman being one, say that if the government takes on the deficit by reducing spending that the economy will crash...

But, hey, lotta Repubs would love for the economy to crash... That would mean they could get the same fiscally irresponsible knuclkeheads back in power that created this mess in the first place...

But nevermind that stuff... It's called "critical thinking" and it's alot easier to appeal to people's base emotions with slogans like, "I pay my bills so the government should, too"... Well, that isn't exactly a slogan 'cause it won't fit on a bumper sticker but that is what the deficit hawks want people to think... Eevn if thinking that and electing people who think like that will mean a collapse of the economy, like who cares??? Right??? Shit happens...

Beam me up, Scotty... The deficit hawks want the economy to crash...
