The latest debacle with the
unemployment ins. extension is a prefect example. Two Republican senators
voted for the money for desperate people. One Democrat voted against it.

The GOP just wanted to pay for the extra benefits, not borrow more
money.

really? then why did george bush and henry paulson propose to congress
that we borrow 9% of GDP in bush's last year?

why does the GOP want to extend the tax cuts when doing this
exacerbates the deficit?

where are the spending cuts?

in fact the GOP put in place one of the LARGEST unfunded programs in
US history: the medicare drug benefit. that EXPLODED the deficit and
they did not PAY for it

The Democrats said, in the whole 2.38 trillion dollar budget, they
couldn't find a way to cut $33 billion from something to make this
revenue neutral.
Just a suggestion, that is about a month of what we are ****ing away
in Afghanistan.

and george bush killed 4400 US troops in iraq while spending a
trillion there

how'd that work out?
