Funny how that works. The conservatives run up huge bills and then blame
liberals for the debt. We had the same thing when a Liberal government
ran a deficit to deal with tough economic times. The conservatives that
replaced them harped for years about the liberal debt, but continued to
rack up debt even faster than the liberals did, and kept up the hype
about the liberal debt, and their supporters bought it.
