Even when they know everyone else knows they're lying.
So far this Fiscal Year, the U. S. Government spent $336 Billion of your money on interest payments to the holders of the National Debt. Compare that to NASA at $15 Billion, Education at $61 Billion, and Department of Transportation at $56 Billion.
I don't want to hear any whining about a third option. It is impossible for both parties to be exactly as representative of the value of fiscal responsibility.
