In recent years, record deficit has been associated mostly with
Republicans, fiscal responsibility with Democrats.


Well, the Republicans during the Bush administration have certainly taken to
traditional Democrat methods of retaining their offices, but fiscal
responsibility has not been associated with Democrats for a very long time.

In recent history, fiscal irresponsibility, profligatr spending and tax
cuts paid out of deficit financing have been the hallmark of Republicans.
From Reagan to Bush II.

Clinton increased the Federal Debt by 1.4 trillion dollars, a 31%
increase. Don't even pretend that either party is better than the
other when it comes fo fiscal responsibility.
