22. Republicans PRETEND to be "Fiscal Conservatives"

So why is that budget deficits always INCREASE when they're in power -- are they too stupid to understand the consequences of their own policies?

NO. This is deliberate.

They have long wanted to shrink government to a size that can be "drowned in a bathtub." The strategy is to starve the beast. This means starving federal government programs of funds.

They know that trying to dismantle Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid by direct legislative assault is political suicide. Instead, they drive up deficits with tax cuts for the rich and costly wars of choice, then put on their "fiscal conservative" masks and solemnly declare that hard decisions must be made about the cost of "entitlements" we can no longer afford.

These are the earned benefits working Americans already paid for with deductions from every paycheck our entire working lives. It is a strategy to transfer more wealth from you and me to the billionaires who finance the Republican Party.

We have to stand up and say NO!!!!!!!
