CJ, > Don't have to. I am sure that he is aware that 2009 is not 2007 or 2008. And that fits into your view that the GOP is solely responsible for the deficit ... how? Let's see.......the GOP have controlled Congress and the presidency for the first six years of this decade. Who do you think is responsible for the huge run up in the deficit in those first six years of this decade? The French? Wait. The terrorists? Who?

"And that fits into your view that the GOP is solely responsible for the deficit ... how?" Well, lets see. When the Republicans had total control, the deficit increased virtually every year. At an unprecedented rate. As soon as the Democrats took control of Congress, that trend started to reverse. Now, granted, they have blown it for 2009. But the Republicans are not really complaining about the programs except to carp over minor points. Which, given their history, should not be any surprise. They rarely see a spending bill they don't like. So, they aren't solely responsible for the spending. But that are a major source of the problem.
