14. Republicans are not outraged

That the reason the debt is so high in the first place was due to their tax cuts for the wealthy, their pharma bill, and their two wars that they wanted so badly they lied to the world to start.

They are not outraged that veterans can't find jobs, get services they're entitled to, medical care, or that vets lost houses due to bank fraud. So much for supporting the troops, which we heard non-stop during the Bush years.

Calling the Republicans hypocrites is an obscene understatement.
