Debt

One of the Democrats favorite talking points is the Republicans can't be taken seriously about the debt because when they were in power, they spent like no one's business. This is true. But you also gotta recognize, they were in power pre-financial crisis and the debt wasn't the hugest priority. So I find this logic a bit disingenuous. It would be like someone discovering they had skin cancer and saying they couldn't go to the beach anymore and then retorting - fuck you, you used to go to the beach all the time before.
