That's nothing new. Deficits never matter when the GOPsters are in charge.

It's called relativism and situational ethics

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

Dunno about relativism, they espouse maquiavellism.

They would not like to tie themselves to an Italian from an era that started questioning traditional authorities anyway.

I dunno, whichever the Roman I think they are just fond of the [attributed] roman saying:

De ingratitudine
De homine et serpente
Dum nive candet humus, glacies dum sopit aquarum
Cursus, in colubrum turbida sevit yems.
Hunc videt, hunc reficit hominis clemencia. Ventum
Temperat huic nimium, temperat igne gelu.
Ver redit, ymber abit, estas cum sole calescit.
Sic inportunus fit magis atque magis.
Ore serit vires coluber, sic tuxicat edem.
Hospes ait colubro: ,,Non rediturus abi."
Non exit coluber, non wlt exire, sed heret
Amplectensque virum sibila dira movet.
Reddere gaudet homo nequam pro melle venenum,
Pro fructu penam, pro pietate dolum.

Hic consequenter autor docet nos, quod illos non debemus diligere, qui promoti et ex-
altati per aliquem beneficii accepti non sunt me//mores, sed se ipsos ingratos facientes
nituntur istis nocere, quibus tamen deberent prodesse. Et pro illo adducit talem fabulam:
F Quidam homo invenit serpentem candentem nive et glacie 5 cursus aquarum ubique
terrarum constringente, invenit serpentem semivivum pre frigore. Et motus pietate sustulit
eum et deportavit in domum suam et ibi ventum frigusque ipsius temperaverat.
Recedente autem frigore et appropinquante vere et estatis tempore serpens vires suas
resumserat et inter latebras domus eiusdem se nutrivit. Et tandem bene revocillatus pro
prie veneno domum ipsam resperserat. Quod videns hospes domus et maliciam ipsius
senciens serpentem tanquam immemorem et ingratum de hospicio et beneficii accepti
de domo expellere voluit. Serpens vero exire nolebat, sed circumdans collum viri eundem
crudeliter wlneravit. Et ita ei venenum pro melle, penam pro fructu et dolum pro
pietate restituit.
Sic eciam ad propositum: Hominibus ingratis non debemus beneficia multa impendere,
quia tales beneficiorum exhibitorum immemores sunt et in eandem penam et miseriam,
in qua ipsi fuerant, benefactores eorum deducere solent, secundum quod eciam
satis deductum est in ultima et penultima fabulis precedentibus.
Et hoc eciam dicitur in vulgari:

Dem schalke is eyne frewde ist,
Das her vor honig gebit gift
Vnd vor fromen schaden thut
Vnd vor gute gibt vnguth.
