The dynamic is much more complex than that simple minded rant assumes.

The Congressional Democrats generally tend to go along with whom ever is President because they believe in the give and take of government...thus when there are Democrats in charge of the Congress it is more likely that the President's agenda will be followed in some form. Even then Congressional Democrats reduced the requested budgets from Reagan.

The Congressional Republicians since the Gingrich revolution in 1994 have been a parlamintary behaving party. When a Republician President is in power they give him everything he wants and more. When a Democrat is in power they refuse to work with him and refuse to pass his agenda. When they had Bush in power they spent like drunken sailors.

However the Republician Presidents have been all about increasing the deficts when they have power. The only adult since Nixon was GWH Bush and his party stabbed him in the back.

The Democrat Presidents have been about good governement including good economic government thus we have Clinton reducing the deficts first (and most critically) via a tax increase in 1993 (without one Republician vote - oh you people who claim the Republicians care about deficts) and second by working with Congress to execute good government.

Now we have President Obama who haa reduced the federal spending over time, both with a Democratic Congress and with a Republician Congress...

Now I know many of you think both parties are equally evil...however if ytou look at the actions you will find that the Republicans when they are in power tend to create a bigger mess and the Democrats when they are in power tend to create (and maybe even clean up) a smaller mess...which is what you should expect as the Republicians believe that government is evil and can only do evil things which they translate into evil actions when they have power while the Democrats believe that government can and does do good things which they translate into attempts to do good when they are in power...

To expect either party to be perfect and then when it does not meet that impossible standard to yell that government is evil and can only do evil things is childish and surely driven by the Republicans who profess this idea and want you to believe it.

I told you Gus, that connie deniers would come out with guns ablazin'.

It doesn't make me mad, it makes me sad. The Democratic party relies on chumps like you who actually believe the tired propaganda they spew. I'd say the same thing about any "conservative" who claims the current GOP leadership is in any way, shape or form representing true conservative values, fiscal or otherwise. We got $16 trillion in debt by both parties utterly ignoring their fiscal responsibilities and focusing on the only thing important to them.....reelection.

For you to claim that it is solely the Republicans fault is ludicrous, just as anyone claiming only the Democrats were fiscally irresponsible would be equally wrong.

Some day you'll wise up and understand all this, but until then don't let your speechwriting talents go to waste. Obama is going to need all the help he can get this fall.

It was the Democrat controlled congress. Bush had no chance.

You missunderstand...

Although the Republicians receive all of my ire as they are mostly responsible for the crazy ideas that you can cut taxes and still support the level of spending the Democrats are not perfect. However to put the Democrats who have been angels compared to the Republicians in the same area is to just be blind to how screwed up the Republicians have become, starting with Reagan and putting the nail in their party with Gingrich.

lol, it's getting destroyed as fast as it is getting reported. Again, it doesn't matter how the story is spun. The American public realizes the disaster Obama has created and that's why Romney is in such good shape politically at this stage of the process.

Well as long as your not counting the bonds that Social Security owns...but continue on with your fancy..
