They're much the same bunch that started the ramp up of deficit spending and debt under George Bush.

And as you so frequently remind me about President Obama's shortcomings, I'll remind you what I said when the GOP took control of the House. I said that there would be no material change in spending, regardless of the impassioned Republican campaign promises. Now I have to say...I TOLD YOU SO.
