I don’t understand how the Republicans have any credibility when it comes to the budget. They label themselves as fiscally responsible, but history belies that claim. (And, yes, for fairness and balance, many Dems are also bad.)
As with my last cartoon, it is ridiculous for people who ignored deficits under Bush to suddenly discover them under Obama. Moreover, it is even more hypocritical when you remember that the Bushies couldn’t wait to spend the surplus fast enough. If we had saved (or invested) that surplus, we might not be where we are now.
Everyone claims to want a balanced budget (especially easy when you are in the minority party), but no one acts that way. And when we did have a balanced budget in 1998, the Republicans were busy impeaching the president.

I really like this comic mainly for what it doesn’t say. Yes, Cej obviously has a target, but it goes unsaid. The insanity speaks for itself and the repeated images are hilarious.
