re: #494 lawhawk

Ever think that the reason that the GOP didn’t vote for the stimulus package was because of all the other crap included in with the tax items? Or do you want to ignore the massively fiscally irresponsible actions of the Democrat controlled Congress that pushed this on the taxpayers with no plan to pay for any of this?

No plan to pay for any of this. Like the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest 1% of the nation enacted in 2001 and 2003? Or the Iraq War? Or Medicare Part D?

I’m not fucking stupid, and I didn’t just fall off the turnip truck and forget the previous 8 years. Bush enacted nothing but fiscally irresponsible programs for the entire duration of his 2-term presidency, in a time of relative economic prosperity.

Obama comes into office faced with the single largest economic crisis ever faced by this nation. And enacts a one-time stimulus package to prevent even further catastrophic economic collapse. And now all of a sudden Republicans start clamoring about deficits. BULLSHIT.
