Hoyer Says What Needs to be Said

Rep. Steny Hoyer finally said what Dems should be saying on every television appearance and radio station in the country: the national debt we have today comes largely from Republican policies.

In other words, despite what Republicans are trying to claim, the debt was not created by Barack Obama or by Democratic policies alone. In fact, an overwhelming majority of the debt is a direct result of Reagan, Bush I, and Bush II. It is a result of the people the media labels as fiscal conservatives.

Now I know Republicans don't like to face up to it, but who cares. Let them whine and cry.  Let them really try to dodge this one.

Fact of the matter is, decades worth of Republican policies that were not paid for added trillions of dollars to the national debt.  And then the Bush Recession hit.
