Will The Narrative That Democrats Are Not Fiscally Responsible Finally End?

[TomCADem]

Under Bush, federal spending and the deficit grew after Bill Clinton left office with a surplus. Now, with a Democratic President, serious cuts in federal spending were made while protecting the EPA, Planned Parenthood and Health Care Reform from Republican attack.

The question is whether the media will continue to push the bullshit narrative that Republicans are fiscally reesponsible?

1. When the narrative that Democrats are soft on defense..

...ends, and not before.

Oh, that and the Pirates winning the World Series.

2. If that narrative worked, the Dems wouldn't have swept 2006 midterms

They went full out antiwar

Propped Murtha up in front of 10 billion flags

Bring em home!

This costs too much money!

etc

And they won

3. Spending and the Deficit Grew Under Both Reagan and Dubya...

...yet this myth that Republicans are the fiscally responsible party just won't die. It is amazing.

8. you're funny. Oh, yeah, will the media start reporting the truth? HAHAHA!

The yearly change in debt:
1.8T$ FY2009 Bush budget, finished by Obama
1.6T$ FY2010 Obama budget, run by Obama
1.4T$ FY2011 CURRENT, PRE-SHUT-DOWN projection.

Did the media notice that 1.8 went down to 1.6? Maybe. Did they say so? NOooooooooooOOOO, they did not.

Would they let we the people know that? NOoooooooooooooooooOOOOO, they will not.

Will they let us know we are heading for a lower number now? NOoooooooo, they will not.

Will they let us know in a few days that this year's will be down? YES, they will, and they will mention the (inconsequential) Republican reduction in budget along side letting us know.

And, you know it.
