Not that I needed any confirmation on what hypocrites those on the right are...


Let the excuses begin.

Expect crickets from the board's self proclaimed economists. Especially after watching them lose their $#@! for eight years when the "other" one was in office.

There might be one or two that show up to attempt to bull$#@! everyone how "this" is different....

It doesn't matter who the POTUS is, the congress is responsible for spending and debt. I'm not sure why this comes as such a surprise to some.

*whoosh* the point goes sailing over your head.

You seem to have a repertoire of standard responses. I'm not sure why you troll when there's no apparent reason.

I 100% agree with you -- until you got to the "hypocrites on the right" comment because I think its politicians on both sides that are hypocrites when it comes to fiscal restraint.

Personally, I would not have cut personal taxes. I would eliminate baseline budgeting and do an across the board cut. I'd get stockman-ish about it.

I have trouble recalling Dems taking Reps to task for their spending, but it's a cottage industry on the right.

Also, the Laffer Curve bull$#@!- I don't recall too many Dems signing up for that.

Ergo hypocrisy on this issue is property of the GOP.

Whatabout fail.

The hypocrisy is that both parties are willing to spend us into oblivion. I've watched debates and speeches where politicians on both sides have decried the debt yet neither are willing to do anything about it. It's sickening. hypocrisy abounds on both sides.

You need to stop eating carp for dinner. The left never saw a dollar, real or not, they couldn't find a reason to spend. You holier than thou is hilarious.

The difference, of course, in which the OP was highlighting was the lack of bed $#@!ting seen here in regards to the debt. I mean, what we have here is milquetoast whataboutism in regards to "both sides do it" but during the last administration it was strictly about that damn Obama.

Damn, didn't I call it about how an attempt about how it was "different" would be used?
