And, just to remind people of recent history, the GOP were the ones who quadrupled the national debt, while also cutting out trillions of dollars in tax revenue, by slashing taxes for the top 2% wealthiest Americans. Then of course, in order to foster an "ownership society" Bush deregulated the banking and real estate industries. This was the toxic cocktail that so many in the financial realm got "drunk"* on, and led us to the near collapse that we lived through last year. The Republicans complain about Obama and the bailout, but THEY ARE THE REASON we had to go for that bailout in the first place. Otherwise most of us would be standing in a bread line right now. Probably next to someone who worked for GM, or one of it's thousands of supplier companies. All equally unable to cash a paycheck, even if we were lucky enough to have a job, because the banks would have frozen all commercial and private credit. *"Wall Street got drunk." -Bush (actual quote)
