The two largest deficit reducing bills in history came from...
Edited on Tue Feb-22-11 10:46 AM by Badfish
the Democrats.

Clinton's deficit reducing bill in 93 , and Obamas HCR bill.

If the GOP was serious about reducing the deficit , then why did Clinton's bill receive ZERO votes in the Senate from the GOP , and Obama's bill receive zero votes from the House ?

The Democrats own this issue.

1. We may own it now but there are many
thieves out there just waiting for us to go to sleep.

2. I don't think they are waiting.
The re-writing of history has already begun.

3. We may own it, but apparently we suck at selling it.
If I had a dime for every person I run across who thinks Democrats are profligate and Republicans fiscally responsible, I could reduce our deficit.

4. The problem isn't about "selling it"
it's about the American people being dumber than dirt.

If you tell them the truth 50 times and they still believe the lie , then it's checkmate.
