What kind of surreal world are we inhabiting where the political party that is trying to address our debt problem is on the defensive at the hands of the reckless party that chooses to mock, demagogue and delay?
The national dialogue, at least the one being choreographed by Democrats and their amen chorus in the liberal Beltway media, has been distorted beyond measure. We are asking the wrong questions and getting the wrong answers.

How can liberals be intellectually honest about any of this, when their man increased spending so dramatically?
I think you noticed that honesty and integrity are not the strong suits of the libtards..
Partly yes.
“honesty and integrity are not the strong suits of the libtards..”
Please replace libtards with politicians in general, both parties.
