Double Standards

HOUSE REPUBLICAN LEADER JOHN BOEHNER (R-OH): I think at this point we believe spending nearly a trillion dollars is really more than what we ought to be putting on the backs of our kids and their kids.

What objections did you air about spending $650+ billion on Iraq when your party ran both Houses of Congress and the White House? And unlike the stimulus, Iraq actually killed 4000+ of said kids so far.

Thinking about future generations is important and something our leadership should explicitly do more often, but don't do it only when politically convenient.
