The last time the GOP really got its way, 1994, we had budget surpluses.

Fair enough, but what spending was the GOP really able to cut? There was welfare reform, but how much money did that actually save? Didn't Clinton successfully play the "grandma will be eating dog food" card and turn public opinion against the Republicans?

Which one, there were like half a dozen. I didn't see any that I would call incredibly responsible. Where was all this responsible legistlation/budgets from 2000 to 2008 with a Republican president, senate, and congress. The debt grew like crazy. So now these same people are incredibly responsible? There is only the demapublican party now. I don't like the democrats much, but at least pre obama they would raise taxes to pay for their foolishness. Obama is just bush's third term.

He's waiting until he is reelected to raise taxes. On top of those already raised by Obamacare, that is.

Hey JG1, HonestAbe and CapnShuddup: We're in this together, watching Patrick's Libtards on display. They actually do NOT realize how dangerous Obama is. He's FDR x 2 on economic issues, and that's a problem ! Remember to get my recomm book "FDR: New Deal or Raw Deal "

They're not very good on History 2011 either. Who proposed a responsible budget? Boehner/Ryan and the Repubs voted it IN, passed it in August. But the Libtards don't care. In fact, they ridicule anything serious and responsible.

JG1: You're so right, 4 posts above about the Repubs during '01 to '07....they had to 'compromise' with the Dems because they didn't have 60 votes in the Senate. They wanted entitlements/Medicare to only grow by 30% in 5 years, Dems wanted 40%. The compromise by the petulant Dems was 39%.
Bush compromised and agreed to sign Ted Kennedy's prescrip drug plan.....and now Liberals bash Bush for adding to the deficit. Libs don't like it when Repubs don't compromise, and then they bash Repubs for being fiscally irrresponsible when they DO compromise. Hopefully President Romney will have a backbone against these jackwads in the Senate led by Harry Reid the senior jackwad.

Ryans plan doesn't even come close to repairing the damage caused by decades of radical liberal give away "free lunch" policies, programs, subsidies and the like.

Any one who fails to understand that is simply too ignorant to have any right to cast a vote, or being allowed to post at Pat.net.

And what anyone makes, or pays in taxes is none of YOUR business. Stop being a nosey, busybody...typical liberal.
