Priorities

A reader writes:

I don’t think the fact that Democrats want to help the uninsured and Republicans don’t is any great surprise.

What shocks the hell out of me is that by a 12% margin, Democrats are more interested in reducing the budget deficit.  Barely half of Republicans even care.  What ever happened to what was supposedly the party of fiscal responsibility?  Dick Cheney was right.  Deficits don’t matter, at least not to Republicans.
