Bloomberg reports that Boehner and Republicans voted for all the Debt they now Blame on Obama

John Boehner, FOX News, the Tea Party and all of the GOP continue to make the claim that the Obama administration is almost entirely responsible for what they consider to be America's debt problem.

Bloomberg News did just a little digging and reports what we've been claiming all along. These Republicans are all a bunch of hypocrites. The same Republicans that are so outraged by the deficit voted to help put it there in the first place:

“In Washington, more spending and more debt is business as usual,” the Republican leader from Ohio said in a televised address yesterday amid debate over the U.S. debt. “I’ve got news for Washington - those days are over.”

Yet the speaker, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell all voted for major drivers of the nation’s debt during the past decade: Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the 2001 and 2003 Bush tax cuts and Medicare prescription drug benefits. They also voted for the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP, that rescued financial institutions and the auto industry.

1. letter to Bonehead ...

Dear Mr. Speaker:

Quit playing politics with the American people and do your job. The debt ceiling needs to be raised. Period.

I do not understand why you are using the well-being of America and the American people to try to seek what you seem to think is correct.

Why was it correct to fund all of these wars since 9/11 occurred? I never approved of it and because of these wars, the debt ceiling must be raised because of the debt that has been incurred; the majority of it was under the auspices of Mr. Bush.

If you are looking for a place to cut, try cutting out the wars first. The well being of the American people should be first on your list, not last! Shame on you!

Do the right thing and quit using the American people as bargaining chips for your personal agenda.
