the right, despite all it's blah blah blah markety market nonsense, really really loves spending and spending and spending on shiny weapon systems that kill people in great number. on enabling people who are alive to live better lives? not so much.

Yeah, I think the last time I looked it was during the Ike admin. (maybe it was Nixon, google it) that the debt didn't increase with a GOP POTUS. For all their blah, blah, blah about cutting spending the right LOVES to spend. When they've got the check book they drain it, over draw it and make statements like "deficits don't matter." Then the minute the Dems get voted in they start screaming about spending, the debt and deficits.
