There is a one of those old wise quotes that I'm sure you already know is coming.
"Those who do not remember their past are condemned to repeat their mistakes."
As far as not putting your grandchildren in debit as reason to vote for Republican.. May I ask you to read the quoted line above once more.
I think you live in the past under a misguided history brought on by the right wing. The last 3 Republican presidents have increased out debit by far more than the last 3 Democrats.
You live in a fairly land and believe what you want to hear. The numbers do not lie.. They do not make voodoo economics or fuzzy math. The numbers are what the numbers are.
Debit increase by President.
Carter 42% increase
Reagan 188% increase
Bush Sr. 55% increase
Clinton 35% increase
Bush Jr 89% increase
Obama 41% increase
What is it that you can't read in the numbers that still makes you honestly believe the Republicans wont cause your grandchildren to be in debit? Is it wishful thinking because it sure as hell isn't the facts.
The last 3 Republicans all increased the debit over 50% and 1 over 100%
The last 3 Democrats all increased the debit by under 50%
In what world do you live in that less than 50% is greater than over 50%?
Obama of course will likely go over 50% at this point but he will be the first Democrat to do that since Roosevelt. But he only did it then due to WW2. Obama also has 2 wars to deal with and the verge of a 2nd great depression all of which he did not create.
Personally I think both parties are shit but I can't stand the BS that comes out of the Right that is just outright lies. I wish DC would just disappear from the map and we could just start fresh at this point.
