"no administration would be able to come afterward to reverse it."

Nothing is forever, Johannes.

"Indeed, from the time the paradigm was set to today, politics has been controlled essentially by people who have artfully promised the most money to the most people, by one means or another."

You got that right! It's a systemic failure.

"You speak of reductions in the rate of debt increase as if the fact that the increase in debt itself is not the actual sickness that needs treatment."

No, I don't... nor do I imply it. I simply stated the economic statistics, I did not say the limited progress made was 'sufficient', because I do not believe that is so.

Still, the evidence seems to indicate that --- in recent decades --- single Party control has been bad for government spending (it's up the most then, as the controlling Party seeks to reward it's backers) and the size of government has increased the most under those conditions.
