Republicans and the Debt
By Taylor Marvin
From the Daily Show, February 1st. John Stewart interviews Michael Steele and discusses the Republican party’s new message:
Stewart: “They’re selling themselves as the party of fiscal responsibility.”
Steele: “I think historically that has been where the root of the party is.”
Graph time:
The idea that Republicans has historically been the more fiscally responsible party isn’t true. That doesn’t mean that Republicans aren’t the more fiscally responsible party now, but the narrative of a strong Republican fiscal record is a meme that needs to die.
