WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen. John McCain deployed heavy sarcasm. Fellow Republican Marsha Blackburn trotted out a chart. A group of conservative House Republicans mocked: "'Deficit we inherited?' ... Spare us the false outrage."
The war between Republicans and Democrats to frame the blame for the economy erupted in earnest this week.
Republicans pushed back against President Barack Obama's claim—echoed relentlessly by his Cabinet members and Democrats in Congress—that he didn't cause the mess and shouldn't be judged yet on obligating taxpayers for a trillion dollars trying to fix it.
Just how long Democrats can credibly argue that they're merely responding to—and not responsible for—a crisis created under Republican predecessors depends on which political and economic fortune tellers are doing the predicting.
