Democrats badge of honor is "borrow and spend" and they are not going to give that up. They love to wear their badge of honor as it is who they are, and their proud of it. In fact Democrats what to increase entitlements as they believe there is no end to the supply of money.

This is about as hypocritical as it gets Forplay, no other way to call this one my friend.

Everyone knows the standing orders of economic policy under Republican control in recent times has been the same "borrow and spend" (call it "print and spend" or whatever you need to) that you accuse Democrats of wearing as a badge of honor. Just to add a little to the mix here you cannot ignore that under ole W there was plenty of "borrow and spend" going on all the while selling the US on the whole tax cuts will pay for itself in future taxes on economic growth. Not only did that end in epic disaster and never was realized, but we ended up with plenty of debt during their time of control. No debate on that one, the debt went up and at the time was in respectable numbers in comparison. Granted Obama is smashing those records as we speak but that does not negate all the debt damage Republicans did to us as well. Republicans are no better about economic policy and fiscal responsibility than Democrats these days. And if you really want to debate how Democrats look at the never ending supply of money you can add Republicans to the list using the same mentality under their control as there is plenty of supporting evidence.
