Democrats just raise taxes. That stifles the economy and when it finally recovers they raise spending. Clinton took all of they tax prepayments created by Roth conversions and increased spending on everything except our protection at drunken sailor rates. President Reagan was fighting Carter's record inflationary stagnation. President Reagan created a booming economy that lasted twenty years until Clinton raised taxes too fast and caused a recession. It did take a recessionary pause after democrats sabotaged President Bush 41 with a double whammy minimum wage hike. Deficit projections keep getting pushed down as a result of the tax receipts from the recovery resulting from President Bush's tax cuts. Carter and Clinton both ignored security spending priorities, which forced both President Reagan and President Bush 43 to increase military spending at much higher rates. In both cases, the increases caused budgetary surges. "Democrats have been the party of fiscal responsibility " I cannot think of any facts that would support that claim.
