5. He is not, and never has been, serious about debt reduction.

He uses the debt (created by GW Bush) as a tool to manipulate
the gullible public into backing him on what he really wants:

1) To end to Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, EBT, SCHIP, headstart, etc.

2) Another tax cut (i.e. the redistribution of money from the working class
to the obscenely rich)

In the end, the rich get richer, the safety net -- which they hate -- is destroyed,
and the middle class are left to pay for an even larger debt.

You see, when you're a republican, you get to take out a $750,000,000,000 cash
advance (called a tax cut) and charge a trillion dollar "war on terror" on the
national credit card, and leave the middle class and democrats on the hook for
paying it all back. It's brilliant.

Yup. They don't matter to the wealthy republicans like Dick, because they
know they won't have to pay the tab.

He is a Lying Sack of Shit. LSOS
