Democrats are worried about deficit spending....now? Yes, but with selectivity. With the question of funding a probably troop surge in Afghanistan, Democrats are now voicing concerns about the federal deficit and paying for the war. How much did they spend on the stimulus? How much do they plan to spend on Cap and Trade and Obamacare? Seems to me like a "way out" for Democrats who don't support a unpopular war. But yes, not only are Democrats hypocrits when it comes to deficit spending. Congressional Republicans during the Bush years weren't the fiscal conservatives they were...especially when it came to funding both Iraq and Afghanistan. But when the issues turn to health care reform and others, the federal deficit becomes their biggest argument. Point being, I don't like hypocrits.
