    And they have on more than one occasion. It blows my mind that anyone could think of them as the fiscally responsible party. Then again, they also pretend to be the party of morality, so that all tracks.

      They are fiscally conservative in name only.

      This just happened in my state when Democrats wanted to provide breakfast and lunch for students. A Republican said “But we can hire more teachers!”

      Someone asked, “So you would support a bill using this money to hire more teachers?”

      You can imagine his response.

      These assholes use these excuses to get in the news and get in sound bites. They should never be trusted by themselves.

        Just look at the deficit/surplus numbers, by party. It’s plain as day.

        The party of fiscal responsibility loves to crow about irresponsible spending until they’re the ones doing it.
