I'm not sure these "Bush did it" arguments really get through to the people. [Bush Budget Aides Still Budget-Illiterate].
A better response from the left might be to be the adult in the room, something like,...... "look,.... we realize we have a debt/deficit problem in this country. We also realize that both parties were involved in creating the problem. The wars, the tax cuts, the stimulus, they all added to it. Now, the Debt/Deficit IS an issue but,.... it's not the main issue. It's not the main problem the country is facing right now. The problem is the economy. The lack of jobs. Reducing the debt/deficit will not magically create jobs nor revitalize the economy. We have to be actively creating jobs and we have to spend to do it. So, first things first,... we'll fix this one step at a time, create jobs, get the economy working again then we'll move on to the debt problem."
This country needs an adult in charge.
