Comedy doesn't even begin to describe Republicans who have over the last 3 years become disgusted with government spending.
While Republicans ruled government and controlled almost entirely all the purse strings, spending rose at historical rates.
The chart above easily demonstrates just how much Republicans loved spending when they were in power. They increased it by at least 108% in 8 short years. The largest increase since WWII.
One would think that people who so despised Big Government and wasteful spending would, when given ample opportunity, cut spending the first chance they got. You would be wrong, dead wrong.
What Republicans do is merely talk about other people spending money. When they spend it, it's perfectly fine. They spend money to make America free and increase our greatness. Everyone else spends money to destroy America and institute a socialist takeover.
Now that we are enthralled in an economic crisis, which they didn't even admit existed until Jan. 2009, spending is a huge problem that should be stopped and could be easily accomplished if only Obama would do the fiscally responsible thing and CUT spending immediately. Never mind where the Big Spending came from. It's up to Obama to stop it now. If he doesn't he's fiscally insane and should be tried for treason.
