Do you mean increasing the debt by about 6 trillion dollars in the last 4 years? How about a 25 trillion dollar debt by 2020 if the Dumbs get their way?
Republicans do nothing but demand that Democrats propose all the spending cuts, so that Republicans don’t have to take responsibility for cutting anything. - WHEREARE the Republican proposals for spending cuts?
It’s worse. When Democrats do propose spending cuts from areas that Republicans don’t like, they go ballistic. Just try dumping the multi-billion dollar F-35 and see how many howls you get from Republicans. What Republicans want to destroy (or Privatize, but that’s pretty much the same thing) are the social safety nets. Philosophically, they believe it should be survival of the fittest, the most cunning, the cruelest and those most willing to shape the law to their own ends.
Stay in the present. Obama said in an appearance on a late night talk show he couldn’t remember the amount of the deficit. “It slipped his mind.” Besides that, we need to spend now and deficits aren’t the most significant issue. So that means Cheney and Obama think alike on economics?
Half the country disagrees with you. Try getting out of insult mode and proposing solutions for discussion, preferably ones with facts, figures or viable solutions.
Too much coffee and too late a workout on Friday night and I’m up too early and loaded for bear. But, with all the problems that exist, can’t we have an adult conversation and knock off all these petty insults and partisan one liners? It doesn’t matter what Bush, Cheney, or whoever has done something in the past, we have to come up with viable, workable solutions now. Our representatives need to sit down face to face and work out this situation. All this sniping is great for cartoon comment pages and does nothing but perpetuate ill will and divisiveness. Thanks for letting me share…
Personally, I agree with you. Let the cuts expire, cut back military spending etc, etc. I also understand your point about deficits and conservatives. Both parties grow the size and cost of government.
Glenn McCoy has been long recognized by his peers as a superior cartoonist. Besides his editorial cartoons, he also creates the daily comic strips The Duplex and The Flying McCoys.

Republicans sure enjoy spending money on things they never intend on paying for.

Remember, Dick Cheney said that the Deficit didn’t matter.
Who are YOU to tell HIM that’s wrong?

After the last election results, the GOP isn’t driving a rig … all they’ve got left is a very expensive stretch limo full of old rich white men.

I flagged your term “demoncrats”. Get used to it because I will continue to do so. Keep a civil tongue in your head.

Mitch McConnell put out a framework for changing qualifications age and some other criteria for entitlements yesterday I believe.
