Why are Republicans attacking social welfare programs?

After all, they were the ones that added $50 billion to last year's debt, when they created Medicare Part D, drug benefit. I understand the fear of a rising federal debt, but why do they want to cut unemployment support at a time when it is most needed? And why didn't they balance their own budgets between 2001 and 2006?

Silly me, I nearly forgot about good ol Orrin Hatch and what he said last December about his Republican colleagues in Congress:
"It was standard practice not to pay for things."

How silly of me, to think Republicans should be responsible for their own actions?!!?!
