The GOP is equally responsible. GWB and his cronies turned a surplus into a bottomless pit of spending.
If you think a change of parties will improve anything, you'd better brush up on history.
The GOP will vote for illegal immigrant amnesty when they come to that fork in the road......that might end up costing trillions in mega entitlement increases.
Both parties are clueless, corrupt, and too politically correct to get anything changed. The Tea Baggers know all the problems but have no solutions.
How about a flat 15% tax for everyone, whether you make $1000 a year or $10,000,000,000 a year with no loopholes? Of course not, that would hurt the lifelong welfare class.
