I know everyone here has said it until they're blue in the face, but why is this simple fact not repeated over and over again:

The Bush tax cuts were not fiscally responsible.

The Afghanistan and Iraq wars were not fiscally responsible

The Medicare Prescription Drug plan was not fiscally responsible.

And these things have done and will continue doing more to spin this nation into inescapable debt than anything else the Dems have proposed in the past year.

Yet, all the people who promoted these events and voted for them are now able to stand up and block real help for millions of Americans by claiming it's not fiscally responsible. Am I losing my mind? Why isn't this an issue for the left?
