This applies to more than the deficit as well, almost all aspects of politics in our country. We would be so much better off the the partisan hacks on both sides would cut the crap be honest for a change.
As has been explained on here repeatedly, the problem with Bush's deficit spending was that we got nothing for it. I've never had a problem with deficit spending as a concept, I have had a problem with Bush putting us in a hole for illegal wars and tax cuts for the rich.
All you've done is taken a complex issue and oversimplified it to make a ridiculous point. In fact, I should make a thread about how half the trolling threads in ATPN are people taking complex issues and oversimplifying them to make ridiculous points... because it's every bit as big a problem here as the one you're trying to describe.
