"Crushing Debt"

Tea Party, Boehner & GOP keep harping on the "crushing debt for our children and grandchildren". And the TP are gleefully screaming "shut the government down!!!"
Got a question for you eejits!
Who's responsible for the "crushing debt" that I am being held hostage for? I'm a baby boomer who will be 59 years old this year. I've been paying into the Social Security & Medicare since the 1960s (my first job was in high school as a dishwasher for a local restaurant for the extravagant pay of 30 cents an hour!)
And what is the problem you have with funding education??? Is it that you soooo enjoy an ignorant, uneducated, can't think for themselves electorate?
Founding Fathers are rolling in their graves.
