Re: Elections 2012 -- Carrion My Wayward Son!
Not necessarily true. Countless times before we've shown graphs over time of deficits. Don't have the charts here...but they can be reproduced yet again. But they largely show the deficit balooned under Reagan and W. And we almost balanced the budget under Clinton. Its hard to say what would have happened under Obama if the administration had been handed a healthy economy. There's no question that there has been a period where the private sector did not spend so some govt spending has patched us over...while he also inherited decimated govt revenues. So the GOP has never shown itself to be any more fiscally prudent than the dems when they actually have a chance to be so.
