Please be sure to thank a Democrat for this...

Now, now, hate to burst your bubble, but there are plenty of Republicans who can be blamed for the massive debt and deficit we currently face. Guys like the giant fraud Paul Ryan who not only authored the bill that brought us the single largest entitlement program (Medicare Part D) since the (not so) Great Society, but also voted for it, helping it to pass a Republican majority Congress and be signed into law by a Republican POTUS. He and his Republican cohorts knew full well when they passed Medicare Part D that the US gubmint did not have the money to pay for it. They knew full well the boomers would be starting to retire not long after it was passed and that the money would have to be borrowed or printed to just pay for it. Medicare Part D is now over $160 BILLION in the hole and sinking fast. I can cite at least a dozen more boondoggles just like this one off the top of my head, courtesy of elected Republicans. Just because someone has an "R" after their name doesn't automatically mean they are fiscally responsible.....

agreed.

if more people can’t see past this party politics nonsense and start paying attention to principles instead, we don’t stand a chance.

for every finger pointed at a D, there’s another pointed at an R. do the Ds have a bigger share of the blame - almost certainly (imho), but really, what does that matter now? there is no “winner” when the battle is down to bickering.

Socialism, PC, and NWO trade is very expensive.
