It's time to post the two Santas again.

http://www.milwaukeeindependent.com/thom-hartmann/two-santas-strategy-gop-used-economic-scam-manipulate-americans-40-years/

First, the Two Santas strategy dictates, when Republicans control the White House they must spend money like a drunken Santa and cut taxes to run up the U.S. debt as far and as fast as possible.

This produces three results: it stimulates the economy thus making people think that the GOP can produce a good economy; it raises the debt dramatically; and it makes people think that Republicans are the “tax-cut Santa Clauses.”

Second, when a Democrat is in the White House, Republicans must scream about the national debt as loudly and frantically as possible, freaking out about how “our children will have to pay for it!” and “we have to cut spending to solve the crisis!” Shut down the government, crash the stock market, and damage US credibility around the world if necessary to stop Democrats from spending money.

Is the enemy both strong and weak in fascism? Fascist societies rhetorically cast their enemies as "at the same time too strong and too weak".

You ever notice how the Nazis talked about the Jews being at the same times in control of the entire world economy and various plots and organizations while at the same time stating that they were an inferior race that needed to be stamped out because they were too incompetent to self-govern?
