It is odd that Republicans how found religion on the debt after the Bush administration ran the debt up 85% while President Obama\u2019s administration has only run it up 41%.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s not even think about discretionary and non-discretionary parts of the budget.<\/p>\n

In any case, I think most of us can agree debt is important.<\/p>\n

I guess the next thing in line after debt for Republicans would be quality of life or as they would have it, the misery index.<\/p>\n

For me, the next thing would be life or the lack of it, death. For Iraq and Afghanistan, 7,648 of our children have been killed.<\/p>\n

Bush started these absurd wars. I know from personal experience with two older brothers that wars create misery and death. Additionally, the cost of both wars is estimated at $1,284,743,552,321.<\/p>\n

The cost of the wars, make the national debt look insignificant. I am not a Ron Paul supporter but I like his stand on foreign engagement. He is the only Republican candidate that is not itching for another war. If you really care about the debt, misery and\/or body count you should vote to re-elect President Obama.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
