I wasn't trying to blame any conservative I really think the money meaning debt just got out of control on the spending issues they really don't know how to fix it but they have said thou they almost got a compromise on the spending and president said that it will be even better to see if they can get a vote on half of what they have asked2.4 trillion at first they wanted 4 something trillion for a added debt ceiling I know they meaning anybody wants to be left holding the bag when it got down to it now when I think about it I wouldn't think anybody can be to the point what's the real answer to the debt what can you figure out? I don't think personally they had control of the debts maybe alot of bad dollar signs sure we need to pay are bills .I and I have to say that the republicans have made them own up to their responsibility of getting and receiving and they can say this okay if we change theses things and they are very important we get a hold on the real story I give the republicans their kudos because their side is you don't get anything without giving back this is their stand I can see why they are kinda the watchdog over debt it's kinda like okay you need the debt ceiling raised then the cuts have to be real deep and enough that it would bring the national debt down or at least try so I can see why they want this I can see they manage their debt and really what should be going on we have two solid plans on the table so we are going to have to see if this might be the answer

10 months ago: The Republicans the watchdog of debt?

They created 3/4ths of the debt to start with.

Reagan started it by cutting taxes on the rich and increasing military spending, but the revenue wouldn't pay for the increased spending.

Bush Jr. doubled the military gave huge tax cuts to the rich and put it on the credit card. Republicans caused 2/3rds of the national debt. The last 3 Republican presidents are responsible for twice what all of the previous presidents combined made. http://maddowblog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/20...

So when Obama got in he had the country going into a depression and an $11.7 trillion debt. He made it worse because he had to stimulate the economy, but then the Republicans forced him to extend the tax cuts in exchange for the unemployment.

The best way to eliminate the deficit is to reverse what caused them. Cut the military in half and return the taxes to what they were when Clinton had surpluses.

Now the Bush tax cuts and the military spending accounts for half of Obama's deficit. http://www.democraticunderground.com/dis...

So why are the Republicans the watchdogs of the debt. The Democrats should be the watchdog of debt because Clinton is the only recent president that had a surplus and was actually paying off the debt.
