Republican "Fiscal Responsibility" Remember the "bridge to nowhere"?
when teabaggers talk about the deficit, and you want to point out the Republican hypocrisy, ask them if they remember the Republican "bridge to nowhere". When they remember and smugly say "it was canceled", point out that Alaska still got the money, but instead of being "earmarked" for the "bridge to nowhere" they were just told to use it as they saw fit.

They. still. got. the. money.

Yet, the same Republicans don't want hard-working Americans to get unemployment while waiting for the jobs that Republicans sent over-seas.

The hypocrisy, it burns!
