Here is another cogent, concise and convincing
example of the rightness of Conservatism.
Whack your favorite drone(s) with the TRUTH:

[There’s a high probability it won’t penetrate their thick
armor of denial – but hey, it’s worth a shot.]
 
 

Are your progressive pals thrilled that the Federal Leviathan is back in full operation? Whew! However did we manage to survive 10 days without the bloviating bureaucrats in D.C. attending to our every need? (Sounds like this hapless dependent barely made it!)
 
Anyway, when they’ve finished celebrating their contented serfdom, ask your leftie friends if they have any helpful suggestions for dealing with the astronomical national debt???

It’s as if I had $250K in credit card debt and I told my wife, “Great news, honey — our fiscal crisis is over! I just got a new Visa!” If she didn’t hit me over the head with a rolling pin, she would most assuredly tell me where I should place it.
 
It’s an imperfect analogy, but imagine the green is your salary, the yellow is the amount you’re spending over your salary, and the red is your MasterCard statement. Before sharing this info with your spouse, I recommend you hide the rolling pin.
 
When a conservative hesitates before raising the debt ceiling, he’s portrayed as a madman. When Paul Ryan offers a thoughtful plan to pay down debt over decades, he’s pushing grannies into the Grand Canyon and pantsing park rangers on the way out.
 
Forget sustainable — how is this sane?
