CNBC: The U.S. national debt is rising by $1 trillion about every 100 days

Here’s the chart of the yearly deficit colored in by which party actually controlled the budget.

The inverse is NOT true, almost every time the right complains about the left, the right wants to spend less. Not more.

Still more than before. Just less than Dems.

Yup.

Referencing my chart above: I’m not “happy” with the red sections. But I’m certainly not voting for or going to claim the blue sections are more fiscally responsible. That’s just lib idiocy.

Yes libs complain about the spending under republicans…… but you can’t point me to any time the libs were complaining about spending where their spending plan was to spend less than republicans. The inverse is NOT true, almost every time the right complains about the left, the right wants to spend less. Not more.

Regardless of plans and campaign promises, both parties are irresponsible when they control the budget. Yes, one more than the other. But until we stop using the bad actions of one party to justify the bad actions of the other, nothing will change.

I don’t disagree with this statement.

But it’s still disingenuous for the side that votes for the people that spend more to complain about the side that spends less as spending too much.

It’s like the guy on a bullet bike going 120mph complaining about the minivan speeding to much when they are going 60 in a 50.

Has spending increased or decreased since the Republicans took control of every lever of government?
