Roy Rolling's Rant du Jour
Posted by Roy Rolling in General Discussion
Tue Aug 02nd 2011, 07:44 AM
The biggest talking point lie/excuse from the debt ceiling fight by Teabaggers is: "we must force government to balance the budget with a Constitutional amendment because they have never done it on their own".

Do the Teabaggers ever study history? What about the last year of the Clinton presidency when the U.S. boasted a budget SURPLUS? It seems like under effective leadership the budget was handled responsibly, but the last ten years under a frat-boy president and cheer-leading Republican Congress they spent money like drunken sailors on shore leave---with apologies to drunken sailors who at least sober up.

The Teabaggers and others who repeat this lie are still drunk from the Bush decade.
