It's interesting to see Republicans, the party of fiscal responsibility, rack up these enormous debts, starting with Ronald Reagan in the 1980s.

Do you wonder why they do it?

I mean, what could be more contradictory?

Talk conservatism and fiscal responsibility, then rack up huge debts. It's their way of killing government -- rack up huge debt so they'll kill programs, even good ones that work, and move the country more and more toward "everybody for themselves."

If you're not well off now -- tough! No health insurance? -- tough! What is really difficult to understand is seeing people less well off voting Republican -- then getting kicked in the pants.

Interesting what Fox News can do in the realm of brainwashing. Scary, too.
