Check my math if you think I'm wrong.
If you are making $100k a year and lose your job, your debt problems aren't that you are spending too much. It's that you no longer have a job.
You can't give massive tax cuts and then blame the deficit on too much spending. The growing deficit is because they enacted tax cuts without regard to budget demands.
That being said, no one on the right complained about military spending when we went it alone in Iraq.
