The Daily Snark 8/8

I just want to make sure I understand this correctly.

The only faction that actually saw $14,300,000,000,00.00 in debt as a problem that needed to be addressed is the one responsible for the rating downgrade? And the party saying this, the one that asked for $2,500,000,000,000.00 in new debt with absolutely no cuts in spending over the next 17 months, is not responsible? That party which passed the Stimulus, an $800,000,000,000.00 failure, is not responsible for that debt, but those who opposed it are?

Does anyone actually want to explain this to me? I'm just going to assume that those on the Left realize how wildly irresponsible they are in blaming the only faction looking for a long term solution but don't want to admit it to other people. The alternative is to believe they are guilty of some deep doublethink.

And no, blaming the only people trying to find a solution to the debt problem is not a realistic alternative.
