If the democrats are so willing to tackle the debt issue, why didn't they do it when they had the super majority last year? It's not like the debt wasn't a giant problem then either. I'm not saying the republicans aren't a big part of the problem too. They added trillions of dollars of debt, but the democrats have only made the problem worse since they took over congress in 2006.
