Here we go again with the Republicans not being able to complain........... YES Republicans have a right to complain because Repubilcans werent THIS bad. Ok? How many times to I have to say it? By 2007, after all big fiscal spending, before the housing bubble popped, Bush had the deficit back down to historic lows. When deficits are at historic lows, then yes deficits dont really matter. But when they are approaching post WW2 highs, then yes, they matter. You know, its bad enough to justify bad behavior by pointing to worse behavior, but liberals have gone beyond that by justifiying worse behavior by pointing to behavior that is not as bad. That doesnt make sense. Please, stop it with the Repubicans spending. First of all, conservatives criticised them for it when it was happening. Liberals did not. Liberals only criticizied the tax cuts. Which doesnt make sense because revenues were high enough. Its a non argument.
