No, we have been consistent. We do not support deficit spending when you're spending the money on crap we don't need to do, like Star Wars, Iran Contra, tax cuts to the wealthy, and invading foreign countries, twice, when they've never shown any aggression toward us. We do support deficit spending when it is absolutely necessary in order to keep us from slipping into the second Great Depression. Your presidents spent money we didn't have for shit we didn't need. Our president is spending money we don't have, true, but if he doesn't, none of us will have money for decades. Plus, our president is forced to spend that money because of the neglect and destruction left by your presidents.

Nope. We focused on the moment, the job at hand not the past. We all made mistakes, we where all there and we knew what got us into our situation.

Well, that's at least consistent with the actions of the presidents that you support. The Two Bushes failed to look at the past, namely, Vietnam, and started shit with Iraq. And now we're dealing with the same situation as Vietnam - an unwinnable war that we should never have started in the first place.
Reagan, Bush, Clinton, and Bush 2 failed to look at the history of the robber baron era, and what that immense separation of upper and lower classes led to (the great depression), and busily got down to the business of creating a yawning gulf once again. And, once again, the economy tanked because the ultra rich can't stand it if they aren't getting ultra-richer.
