Deficit: ‘Why No Outrage?’
What is all this noise I hear from the left wing concerning deficits?
Why, all of a sudden, is it so terrible to be deficit spending when conservatives have been warning us of its perils since President Franklin D. Roosevelt and John Maynard Keynes took the reins of government in the 1930s? Don’t you remember: “We’re only borrowing from ourselves !”
Who’s kidding whom? It has been predicted for decades that at some point the debt would exponentially explode.
So who’s surprised? The Democrat-controlled Congress must, by law, pass every money bill and account for every dollar spent by the federal government.
Why do we keep electing these turkeys?
