The only thing that you can depend on when dealing with the GOP on any issue is lies, distortion, manipulation and extortion. They are masters like carnival barkers sucking in the gullible. It is like the old shell game that hucksters play on their prey to steal money from them. You never find the pea even though the shells are moved in plain sight.
The "trickster" party has one further trick up its sleeve in this political, social, cultural and economic shell game. The new twist is that there is NO PEA under any of the shells. There is trick at every turn and the American people always lose one way or another. P.T Barnum said, "There is a sucker born every minute". Too many of us are still suckered by these rapists.
The budget rhetoric is more of the same. Ryan's budget and Romney's recent talk about the debt are just feints to get the public to believe they they are serious about about our debt. I predicted to a friend on email in 2004 that Bush was running up the debt and it would be $12 trillion by the time he left office. It was $12 by the time he left office. If Ryan and Romney and the GOP get their way the debt will be $20 trillion. Just more bait and switch. They are promising chicken but only give feathers.
And each and every time the GOP and conservatives will call for austerity from women, children, seniors, and the sick to fix the deficit they deliberately increased for political gain. The GOP should be called Murder Inc. That is because they do not care who they kill whether it is fellow Americans through their phony austerity or people in other countries through their wars started on lies and deceit.
You have to be wary of what you wish for because at some point there will be no money even for a military either. And these ugly, traitorous, and unpatriotic Republicons are willing to trade the well being of even our disabled veterans for their crass ideology. Ryan's budget trashes even the veterans.
Ryan and Romney's are not real Americans at all. They are just immoral carnival barkers playing a "no pea shell game."
