We need to point to the republicans saying "ask them, it's their baby" for the mess they have created over the last four, no eight, actually twelve years.

Two optional wars? Ask them!
Budget problems caused by two optional wars? Ask them!
Outrageous debt caused by tax cuts for the well connected? Ask them!
Lowering of US credit rating because of obstructionism? Ask them!
The Fiscal Cliff? Ask them! It was their idea!
Higher occurrence of racism and hate crimes? Ask them and their AM radio, rabid FOX friends!
Gun violence caused by "guns are good" propaganda? Ask Them!

Ask them and hold them responsible.
