I'm not sure you read my post which you labeled a "load of crap"?
In it, I stated: "Debt" seems to only be an issue when Democrats are in power. Dick Cheney said that Reagan proved that deficits don't matter. That is what Republican leaders truly believe. But they know it is a hot issue with their followers, primarily their Tea Party followers.
If you think the Republicans are not using the debt "issue" very effectively and making cuts in pensions and programs in states across this country, because they are selling it to the people as the responsible and right thing to do, then I think you are not looking very closely. If you think it is only about the money, you will find yourself on the short end of the stick. Republicans are intent on dismantling this government and if they can do it in Wisconsin, where can they not do it??
