What is wrong with attacking people who are "dissenting?" Isn't that freedom of speech too? There is nothing wrong with attacking the reasons why someone is doing something as fundamentally unsound.

Why did we never see these protests during the Reagan years
(the one who started massive deficit spending), or the Bush W. years (the prince of deficit spending)?

I don't think that the people who are protesting actually care about this stuff as much as they claim. They only care when a Democrat is doing it. Its a political charade. Maybe it just bothers them that Obama is being honest about it while Bush W. did a lot of creative bookkeeping to make the problem seem a lot smaller than it actually was. I think anyone who complains about what Obama is doing and isn't willing to take on Reagan, Bush Sr. (least culpable, he tried to raise taxes in the name of fiscal responsibility and his party hated him for it), and Bush W. as well are blatant hypocrites.


Cold War.

The deficit spending wasn't nearly bad as bad... but people still did complain.

I mean if Bush was the Prince of Deficit spending Obama would be the King.

But we've already gone over this a couple times in this thread.  You just keep bringing it back though because your blatantly partisan... and would rather do that then argue the issue.
