Political Hypocrisy

Paul Krugman put into concentrated form something I've been thinking for a while: Republicans are total hypocrites about deficits. They hate them when Democrats are in charge, but they don't mind them at all when they create them.

You can say many things about the new British government, but the Conservatives there actually walk their talk. They said they would cut spending to balance the budget, and they did. I feel like our Republican't party is insane, demanding government cut back and keep its hands off Medicare. Maybe they have an evil plan behind it all, but I think there's just a focus on loyalty and fighting to win and not any long-term view at all.
