They're on their second segment with Rand Paul. In between was a few minutes with Marco Rubio (during which they evidently asked him his opinion of the new Justin Timberlake disc).

Dems never explain that we've had a lot of good years since World War II despite (mostly highly manageable) deficits and debt in most of those years. Dems never point out that Ronald Reagan never came close to balancing a budget. Dems never point out that plenty of successful companies have lots of debt on their books. Dems never point out that if you have a mortgage or car payments, you have debt, and you may be managing it just fine. Dems never point out that, historically, no government debt means no New Deal, no interstate highway program, no GI Bill, no Medicare."<br /><br />I hear Dems saying these things all the time. Only they don't have nearly the same influence with the Village. As in, the Village actively ignores them or discounts their arguments in favor of whatever BS to Rs are pushing.
