I think this is called the YO YO pattern. Over the course of the decades I have seen massive tax cuts by Republicans and then tax increases from Democrats.
Republicans give tax cuts, while government spending continues to increase under their watch. The latest example would be under Bush…..The Prescription Drug Coverage, commonly known as Medicare Part D. America CHOSE to fight two wars yet Americans CHOSE not to be inconvenienced with paying for it. When Bush became President he immediately passed a massive tax cut yet the Governments spending expanded that same year.
Democrats come into office with a chip on their shoulder, they are known as “Tax and Spend””spendthrifts” and so on. So Democrats see the balance on the Chinese credit cards and decide that we need to pay for what we get. Democrats become the party poopers.
Who would you prefer? Those who trow a party with no cost to anyone or those who make you pay for the party?
