Not giving the democrats an out, but “we” elected a republican house that took over in Jan 2011 to stop this. They didn’t do it. So they equally share the responsibility. They should have the balls to really shut down the government. And that means Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi and obama’s salary and perks. Close the damned white house. Turn out the lights in the house and go home.

This is about doubling the debt. Democrats have.
But the democrats had full control of everything for the first couple of years when the enormous stimulus bill was passed, and the TEA Party made an honest effort to get things under control and were stabbed in the back by the leadership. And the president is the guy who sets the agenda, for better or for worse.
