Apparently one of us is not.

That would be you.

One poster questioned whether one particular party was responsible for our financial situation, and the other poster pinned it on the dems. I merely pointed out that Republicans were complicit - at best.

It's the fact that one party has what appears to be a completely limitless number of ideas for spending MORE!

One party?

Yes. ONE. Read my post again.

Your graph simply charts pretty much what's already baked in. Which we've already discussed. We're kinda shite outta luck on that one.

But holy shite man. The Democrats have like 10 NEW ideas for COMPLETELY NEW exorbitant spending that would friggin pass TOMORROW if they had the votes. And not even that many more votes.

The Dems look at our engorged entitlements and literally want MORE entitlements!

Absurd one off spending is annoying as frick but at least it's one off. Dems want to basically give us shiny new add ons to all the existing entitlements that go on in perpetuity.

Your attempt to be cute fell flat because you really should have directed it at the poster that was making the distinction in the first place, not at me. I've been saying that the Democrats and Republicans were head and arse of the same beast for years.
