so let me see if i understand this. the republicans are willing to make "fiscal responsibility" mean destroying what the obama administration has tried to do in order to deal with the economic wreckage that republican-inspired economic policy caused rather than allow the ineffectual bush-cuts to expire.
so what that does is allows the republicans to say "we're against obama" which sells better--somewhere---god knows where---than "we are shilling for insurance corporations" or "we are shilling for the koch brothers" or "we are shilling for wall street ceo's who are boo hoo poor me about the idea of having to play more taxes."
so it's got nothing to do with the principles. if fiscal responsibility meant anything substantive, the republicans would have no choice but to allow the cuts to expire.
idiocy.
simple idiocy.
