Chuckling over the Republican's complaining about the Obama administration's adding to the national debt with the stimulus package? Wondering how Republicans can still call themselves "fiscal conservatives"? Here's a factoid for your Republican friends who remain firmly entrenched in Fox Fantasy Land: the Bush administration added $5 trillion to the national debt. That's what the Obama administration inherited. Republicans need to stop mewing about the stimulus plan and start acting responsibly to get this nation back on track. Obstinately refusing to act in good faith with the current administration that's now dealing with the after-effects of their atrocious governing is not the way to do that.
Here is George Packer's take on what the Republican-Democratic debate is really about.
And here is Steve Benen's post about Republican behavior.
Update, February 14, 2009: Steve Benen posts on Rush Limbaugh's and Republicans' "rooting for failure" of the Obama administration and of the stimulus package. As Benen points out, Republicans would have screamed "unpatriotic" to anyone who might have openly rooted for failure of the Republican-led government.
