The Republican Hypocrisy on Debt-Ceiling.

 

 

Nixon raised the debt ceiling 9 times for a total increase of 36%.

Ford raised the debt ceiling 5 times for a total increase of 41%.

Reagan raised the debt ceiling 18 times for a total increase of 199%.

George H.W. Bush raised it 9 times for a total increase of 48%. 

George W. Bush raised the debt ceiling 7 times for a total increase of 90%.

 

The disagreement between the Republicans and the Democrats is over the ratio of spending cuts to tax hikes. The Republican Party want 85% spending cuts and 15% tax increases but the Democrats want 83% in cuts and 17% in tax rises. Of course there are some who want to see 100% spending cuts and no tax hikes at all, those people are fucking mental!
