Debt Ceiling versus Republi-can'ts

       It is strange that the Republi-can'ts do not want to raise taxes.  They claim it is because they are Conservatives.  Well where was all that conservatism when in the eight years of the Bush administration they doubled the national debt.  They handed the Obama administration a broken piggy bank with nothing in it.  Then they declare it is not there fault.  They are not going to raise taxes.  Not even to help refill the piggy bank they broke.  When they say that I hope they have their tongues in their cheeks.  They have given tax breaks to all kinds of big business and wealthy parties and claim that is not a tax increase.  Excuse me but that is an increase of the load on the tax paying Americans.  Which certainly does not include GE, General Motors or the Big Oil companies who pay no taxes and get all kinds of breaks. 
     If they were truly conservatives they would not have created all this debt to start with.  They have no problem spending billions and trillions they do not have.  While they promote UnAmerican wars and kill thousands of innocent people in countries they could care less about.  While attacking al-Qaeda might have been justified.  The way it was done was not.  Using the governments power like a sledgehammer to kill a few flies was and is stupid.  Had they put as much thought, time and planning into getting even as the hijackers did who planned and carried out the 9/11 attacks.  The group known as al-Qaeda would be history and it would not be costing America billions of dollars per month.
     The Republi-can'ts need to man up and share the burden of paying the debt "they" created with the ones whose pockets they lined.  That would not be the average American.   It is the ones they passed the rules and regulations to benefit.  However that is why they are Republi-can'ts.  If Obama was smart he would lay this out for the American people and see how many little guys, both Democrat and Republican, do not want the breaks to continue for big business, while they stand in the unemployment line.  Again that is why we need a third party that cares about America and what it stands for.
