When Republicans Fear Monger Over Health Reform And The Deficit Remember This
Think of the GOP's phony concerns about the cost of the current health care bill and compare it with the GOP's prescription drug entitlement that Rove rammed through the Congress when the GOP held total power. The costs then were about eight times as great as the proposed costs now. But that was a Republican measure and so it doesn't somehow count as evidence of fiscal irresponsibility. But Nancy Pelosi only has to raise an eye-brow and the alarms go off.
The last Republican who left the office of the presidency with the federal public debt as a percentage of GDP less than when he entered was Richard Nixon (FY 1975). The last Republican who left the office of the presidency with a federal deficit less than 2.7% of GDP was Dwight Eisenhower (FY 1961).
Since WW II no Democratic president has ever left office with the federal public debt as a percentage of GDP more than when he entered. And since WW II no Democratic president has ever left office with a federal deficit more than 2.6% of GDP.
We already have at least one party of fiscal responsibility.
It's called the Democratic Party

Obama 2012
"Looking forward to eight years of peace and prosperity."
And we've got to get in gear to make sure it happens. It's already time to begin preparing the framework for a new term for President Obama.
We just can't let another GOP (The Party of NO) underachiever get even the slightest of chance getting their paws on the purse-string again.
