Given Bush and his insanely expensive wars (*), that we will be paying for for generations to come, the only possible response a sensible person need ever give, when a GOPer/TeaBagger says anything about "deficits", is a polite snicker. (*) Obvious money transfers between the taxpayers and Bush's moneyed interests. Someday, we'll actually figure out a way to have a war where the money just gets moved around and nobody (on either side) gets injured or killed. That will be an accomplishment of which we will be justly proud.
