Okay. Sure. But then, why this:
(via MoveOn) I want to note that the deficit (the debt) ballooned enormously those years. So they certainly weren’t tying the debt limit raises to anything back then during the Bush years.
So, you know, pardon me for laughing at both Boehner and McConnell for their current near hysteria over the debt limit. What a convenient “issue” for them to suddenly develop.
You know, the Republicans at least used to be a bit sneakier about trying to destroy this country. Is it that they think the end is so near in sight that they can’t help themselves at this point? Watching the collective crazy is just… amazing.
