Borrow and Spend

Remember back in the good old days, back when the GOP at least paid lip service to fiscal responsibility? Well, those days are long gone, as the Bushies have requested another increase in the debt ceiling from Congress. This would be the second increase in the debt limit in 14 months.

The GOP needs to admit to the American people that its slavish adherence to massive tax cuts for the wealthy come at a price to future generations. Bush and his buddies in the Republican Congress have managed to turn huge surpluses as far as the eye could see into a tsunami of red ink in a little over five years. Good work, assholes.
