Why suddenly do Republicans care about the deficit? Dick Cheney Said " Deficits don't matter" 1.2 Trillion?

Yes. The Bush administration was busy turning Clinton's budget surpluses into record-setting deficits. Cheney's pronouncement was a cover for the administration's failed budget policies.

We didn't hear a peep out of conservatives about the budget deficits until after the bad Republican policies had crashed the economy and President Obama took office. He implemented programs to try to jolt the economy out of the Great Recession. Then the screaming and yelling began and the Tea Party started marching.

Obviously there is a great deal of hypocrisy in the conservative/Republican stances on the budget. When Clinton's policies were producing budget surpluses, they complained that the government was "storing up" money. After they crashed the economy, they started complaining about President Obama's efforts to restore it.

I suspect that conservatives/Republicans just like to complain about anything Democrats do, no matter how contradictory and illogical and hypocritical those complaints are.

Deficits only matter when its a democrat in office. Creating whole new government agencies (Homeland Security) and starting two wars, while all the while cutting taxes is ok.....because it was a republican who did it and his PR people said he was a christian. So there ya go.

It only matters when a democrat is in office. How will we pay for the wars? I have no clue.

However NPR needs to be cut because that will increase jobs. More Federal money goes to Liberty University than NPR, but that doesn't matter because Liberty supports republicans. Its very basic logic, you see.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
