Republicans Define What It Means to Have No Shame

Here are the facts: Reagan Presidency: The National Debt began at $1 trillion and ended at 3 trillion (I think this amounts to a 300% increase). Bush 1 Presidency: The National Debt began at 3 trillion and ended at 5 trillion (only 66% but he only had 4 years). Clinton Presidency: National Debt began at $5 trillion and ended at $6 trillion (20% increase over 8 years). Bush 2: National Debt began at 6 trillion and ended at 11 trillion (about 83% increase over 8 years). Since Reagan, the National Debt has increase 10 trillion. Clinton was responsible for 1 trillion in 8 years and the Republicans responsible for $9 trillion in their 20 years. Governemnt spending in the 8 years of Reagan increased 25%, In the Bush II 8 years, another 25%, in Clinton's 8 years it increased 9%.

The current Republican outrage at the trillion dollar stimulus should be listed by Webster's dictionary as a definition of what it means to have no shame.
