They don't know how to shop and they don't know how to balance a household budget, despite their whining about "running the gubmnt like a mortgage payer would".

Because they don't know basics about spending, RepubliCONs run up huge deficits and Democrats have to clean up the mess.

Note how tRump increased the amount of Federal Debt held by the public by 50% and increased the Trade Deficit by 40%.
