Let us not forget that our friends the Democrats also helped get us into this mess...

Indeed, it is true, Lynn, and I will gladly blame anything on the Democrats --- but --- they don't advertise themselves as the party of fiscal responsibility and we do -- but we aren't.

Too true, Francis, and we knew that after Reagan ran up deficits equal to all those before him. You can argue that the expenditures were justified by the ends, but you can't argue that Republicans aren't deficit spenders. Tax & Spend or Borrow & Spend.

Interesting reading that I think sheds some light on the process (hope the link thingie works; never tried it here):
