DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTS
SPEND + 10%---DEBT +4%
REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTS
SPEND + 12% DEBT + 36%
This omits second term of Bush which was xxxxx.
This shows exactly what happened to the Middle Class since 1980.
Debt increase from 4% to 36% was “gift” to already rich by cutting taxes which reduced revenues but borrow from other nations. Failure of Republicans to get revenue to pay our way was primary cause for current fiscal disaster. Some claim it was intentional to create a destruction of our safety nets which prevented Great Recession from being another Great Depression. I doubt that assumption as being too evil and too dumb even for Conservatives who spent fifty years whining in the wilderness of Rejection due to their Great Depression.
