    Great. Worked so well the last time we did it. We recovered faster than any other nation and have a lower inflation rate than any other nation, so let’s crash the economy with austerity measures.

    I’ma need some help. My democracy is isn’t doing so hot.

        Tax and spend is fiscal responsibility. Cutting taxes on the rich and then stating there’s not enough money for medicare is not a sound fiscal strategy for anything other than fomenting the demise of the current governmental system.

        Oh wait! That’s the point!

        Drown it in a bathtub my ass. I’ll drown a thousand fascists in bathtubs before I let this democracy die.

        Yep, the fiscally responsible party that balloons the fuck out of the national debt whenever they are in office and then fear mongers about it when they are not.

        By their own logic, Bill Clinton was the most fiscally responsible president in the last like 50 years, but oh well Republicans are extremely good at lying and Democrats are awful at countering said lies.
