Not sure what anyone expects, how else were the ultra-rich (including many in Congress) supposed to get their big payout--er, pay their "fair" share? Something had to give. Even the GOP couldn't blatantly rip away social programs to fund this windfall (though that may be coming over time, as they rightly count on the moronic public to not be able to stay focussed on issues for more than a couple weeks or so).

This thread seems to be very one sided. Can't believe no one has come in here and tried to defend the "party of fiscal conservatism" yet.

They are waiting for their politicians and mouthpieces in conservative media to come up with the excuses that blame Obama, Clinton and the Democrats. Until that happens they have no idea how to respond because they haven't learned to think for themselves yet.
 
Would be a pretty compelling argument for Dems to flip the script and say all of that debt and deficit talk went out the window the moment the GoP took power. Too bad none of them will make it.
