Fucking Republican party. Pretending to be the party of fiscal responsibility until they get their chance to spend like crazy.

Let's just wait for all the facts.

The increases in spending for the 10-month period included $36 billion more for Social Security and $26 billion more for Medicare, the government's two biggest benefit programs, reflecting rising costs as the baby boomer generation retires. Defense spending was up $27 billion.

I didn't know Republicans loved social security and Medicare.
