By Mark Dempsey, includes “… And did “leaders of both parties” really want to cut debt and deficits? Maybe both parties give ‘Fiscal Responsibility’ lip service, but they sometimes actually say otherwise. Republican vice president Dick Cheney famously said ‘Reagan proved deficits don’t matter,’ and Republican strategist Jude Wanniski advised his party to run up as big a deficit as possible when in power and complain as bitterly as possible about national ‘debt’ when out of power. So…hypocrisy, not truth, guided policy.”
