More Republican Hypocrisy

So, Obama just signed a bill to increase the federal debt limit to $14.3 trillion. When Congress recently passed this bill, no Republican in the House or the Senate voted for the measure. Yet, when Bush was the president the national debt increased by about $5 trillion. The debt limit was raised, I believe, seven times during the Bush years. There was even a Republican majority for over half of the time that Bush was president. Never, never, never believe any Republican member of Congress when he talks about less government or cutting spending or irresponsible Democrats or fiscal conservatism. They are all crooks and liars, except, of course, Ron Paul, who often casts the lone no vote in the House.
