Here's a quick question—why do the Republicans all of a sudden have such a problem with deficit spending to help this county get out of its economic mess? The reason I ask this is because they didn't have any problem with deficit spending for the last 5 years to help a different country out of a mess, and that country was Iraq! They didn't have any problem with Bush's year after year deficit spending for his entire presidency! The national debt grew over 77% during Bush's presidency, more than under any previous president, including FDR who is their poster-child for spending! So if they didn't have a problem spending hundreds of billions of dollars on the reconstruction effort in Iraq, why do they have a problem doing the same for our own country?
