There are two bits of Republican fiscal hooey that have been injected into the national debate since I posted an item here last week about the party's lies regarding the deficit and the debt. Lies heaped onto previous lies. And so the story continues...Karl Rove's new Crossroads GPS commercial against the president is laugh-out-loud awful. It features a mom reminiscing about watching her kids play basketball. Then, as soon as President Obama is elected, she evidently begins to rapidly age. Her hair gets shorter and her voice deepens as she describes how she once had 'hope' but now her kids are still living at home, ostensibly due to the president's economic policies. Only Karl Rove could paint the dark ride of the Bush/Cheney years as an era of sparkly, Wonder Years-ish nostalgia. Ah yes, those two wars, Abu Ghraib, torture chambers, Hurricane Katrina, the worst terrorist attack in American history and the biggest economic meltdown since October 1929. The good ol' days. How I miss them.But that's not the worst part. The Rove commercial brings up the notion of 'job-killing debt.' In addition to the apparent onset of premature menopausal symptoms and layabout 20-somethings living with their parents, the president is evidently also responsible for the cumulative sum of the national debt as its inexplicable 'job-killing' nature.Let's put this bluntly. There's no measure in the history of American economics that positively correlates a high national debt with high unemployment. The two concepts -- high unemployment and high debt -- are almost entirely unrelated and independent. Here's what's true. Usually during periods of high debt, job creation is rather robust. Ronald Reagan doubled -- yes, doubled -- the debt during his first term and unemployment dropped from around 11 percent to close to 7 percent by the time his second term began. Coincidentally, and much to the consternation of Saint Reaga
