Fiscal Responsibility and Conservatism just don't Mix
Next time some retarded ass conservative starts flapping their gums about "fiscal responsibility" in your presence, slap their ass upside the head with a fist full of Pay-go.
The Senate had another vote today on the famous "Pay-go" rules. Pay-go requires mandatory spending increases to be offset with spending cuts elsewhere or tax hikes. So basically, the congress has to either have the cash or get it to fund anything, no more running up the credit card and pretending deficits don't matter. Pay-go is famous because it brought about the balanced budgets the Democratic party created in the '90's.
Remember, Ronald Reagan proved to the conservatives that deficits didn't matter. They say that "this is America" and we can live on credit if we want to. Whatever it takes to live the high life. That's what conservative think America is all about - excess.
So please, take today's vote(and those of the past)to heart next time "fiscal responsibility" leaves a wingnut's lips...
