To those who think republican administrations have been more fiscally responsible in government spending (or no less so than democratic administrations):
By holding (and expressing) this opinion you’re broadcasting that you haven’t seen the relevant data and you form strong opinions without any basis in fact.
This data is available from many sources comparing US deficits year-by-year associated with every republican and democratic presidental term. The data is objective and the obvious conclusions are NOT disputed by respected economists of either party affiliation. Particularly in the last several decades, annual deficits, and associated growth in total government debt, have on average been far greater during republican presidential terms.
I believe one of the key reasons this country is getting rather screwed up economically (and culturally?) is that its citizens are complacent blind sheep content to be led (straight over a cliff) by politicians (and media) turning truths upside-down to suit their selfish purposes.
Mr fat_lazy_union_whatever, you have obviously have fed yourself into a fat little sheep eating those sound bites from republicans preaching their past fiscal responsibility, and you believed those lies without checking the data. You are one of the gullible, dumbed-down and easily controlled masses.
I usually refrain from writing posts this biting and nasty, but this is a touchy subject because so many Americans now make a habit of ignoring fact, and voting for politicians who do same.
