Well, I think everyone already knows my stances on deficit.

I think Obama and Romney are both shit.

Just pointing out that ignoring Obama is the same as ignoring Bush. They both govern more or less the same, and they are both shit. Any objective, rational discussion on the topic needs to start with acceptance that they are in fact both shit.

Trying to paint either Obama or Bush in a good light, and ignore either Obama or Bush is obviously going to be partisan tomfoolery.

If we want to talk about the 90's, well both parties had a lot more sane people in them back then. It was a saner time.
