Careening Towards a Financial Crisis?

What I find interesting is when the republicans are in office it's both sides fault and when the democrats are in office it's the democrats fault. Just ask yourself this: If we weren't $10 trillion in debt and counting, would we be having this discussion. Since Reagan was in office the republicans have added $9 trillion to our national debt with their tax cut policies that were supposedly supposed to pay for themselves, remember? It was their trickle down, tax cuts reduce the deficit, deficits don't matter, borrow and spend, laffer curve, etc, etc, theories that have driven this country to the brink of financial disaster. It was all a big con scheme to destroy social security. The $185 billion a year SS surplus went to pay for their tax cuts for the wealthy taking the poor and middle class's SS surplus. Now there's nothing left and yet they still claim they're the party of fiscal responsibility.
