Rethugs have long been using tax-cuts and defense/military borrowing and spending to accumulate trillions in debt, as a means to an end in their crusade/mission to eliminate SS, Medicare/Medicaid, as well as every other government program and service that provides assistance to the poor, unemployed, underemployed, disabled, and the aged. They want these tens of millions in the US to rely solely upon family, friends, "prayer", and (tax-deductible) charities.
Obviously the only time that our ocean of red debt really matters, is when a POTUS with a "D" after his name occupies the Oval Office, otherwise, when an "R" is (s)elected, then "Saint" Ronnie (RIP) proved that deficits (debt) don't matter.
Successfully ending "evil" socialist government programs and services would be a win-win situation for them and their teabagging extremists, as it would soon mean greatly weakening, if not leading to the eventual destruction of the Democratic Party, b/c obviously people who are homeless and hungry will not have the ability to contribute to, nor register to vote for Democratic candidates and incumbents. But of course they will have to continue to falsely claim that the Bush tax-cuts for the wealthy will create jobs, even though it has long been obvious that it is only increased demand that does. Their wealthy global corporate capitalist overlords apparently never were very concerned about killing the golden goose being the US middle-class, b/c they plan to make up for lost sales, from the ever-dwindling numbers of credit-worthy consumers in the US, by making up for it in increased volume globally.
