Euphemisms

On the subject of euphemisms, I thought I would clarify something. 

When you hear a Republican say, "I think we need to be concerned about the federal deficit before spending all this money," 

what they really mean is 

"I'm a lying scumbag hypocrite who trots out the tired old deficit argument whenever we talk about spending money on social issues and low-income Americans. I don't actually give a shit about deficits, as you can easily observe if you listen to my positions on tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy, or military spending, or any budgetary issue that benefits the causes that I support. The deficit only matters when it's Democrats spending money."
