Yeah, stupid Tea Party. Just because 42 cents of every dollar the Feds spend is for interest on the trillions they’ve already borrowed doesn’t mean they shouldn’t keep borrowing and spending more. Dumbasses.
Since the tax rates haven’t actually gone down, then perhaps the shortfall is due to imprudent spending increases… hmmm? Free healthcare anybody? Regulating lemonade stands? Subsidized wind farms? Platinum public employee pensions? Nah, why would we want our government to be more frugal when we have all these rich people we can get to pay for our free stuff! That’s the ticket!
Galoshes. Gaaalaaashezzzz. Blubber blubber blubber.
