Why shouldn't conservative talk show hosts support a conservative ideal? Your question answers itself.
What doesn't add up to me is why the left allowed us to get here to begin with? All they did was cry for 8 years about "our grandchildren this ... our grandchildren that" .... yet turned right around and made Bush look like a complete economic miser by comparison in less than a year. And now you want to put it on Republicans in Congress just as fast as you can.
There is no easy out. Yes, our grandchildren will have to pay. If there's anything left for our grandchildren at all. If the next few years continue as they have for the past few, that's in doubt, IMO.
In the meantime, the left needs to get rid of that "our poor grandchildren" red herring. WE are living NOW and WE need to exist NOW. If WE don't eat TODAY, or don't have a place to live TODAY our grandchildren become a moot issue.
