Standing up to Rove


On ABC's This Week, Karl Rove was very critical of President Obama's proposed budget.

He's now going to add more debt in the first 20 months and 11 days than was incurred in 2 wars, 9/11 and the previous administration.
Katrina vanden Heuvel who was on the panel with Rove was refresingly bold as she countered Rove's GOP talking point.
It's laughable for you to talk about fiscal responsibility from someone who helped plunge this nation into trillion dollars of debt through tax cuts for the very rich and a war we never should have fought. Starving the beast, starving the government has been a republican role in terms of government and therefore when George asks why government hasn't functioned, people have not seen the role of government in improving the conditions of their lives in decades.
It is about time that the GOP's critism of the President's budget is being countered with a dose of reality. How refreshing!!!!
