Republicans are acting all noble now over their position on the debt and the deficit. They pretend, as if no one can remember the recent past, that they have always been the party of restraint and frugality when it comes to spending money. They want voters to believe that their only real concern, other than controlling women, is to reduce your taxes for you - to make you wealthy and happy by making you pay all of their friends in the private sector for things the government is doing for you now. Things like health insurance (medicare and medicaid) and school for your children.
But in reality, it is all a charade. What they really want is to give more of your money to their pals. If they weren't lying to you, if they really were your friend in providing for a debt free government with low taxes, why did they take a deficit-free budget and equitable tax rates and run the deficit through the roof while giving bigger tax breaks to corporations and the rich? What do they think we are, stupid?
And to answer my own question - yes.
