More parsing of the facts. If you look at the 59-year record of debt since the end of WWII, starting with Truman’s term, the difference between the two parties’ contributions to our national debt level change considerably. Since 1946, Democratic presidents increased the national debt an average of only 3.2% per year. The Republican presidents stay at an average increase of 9.7% per year. Republican Presidents out borrowed and spent Democratic presidents by a three to one ratio. Putting that in very real terms; for every dollar a Democratic president has raised the national debt in the past 59 years Republican presidents have raised the debt by $2.99[5]. Democrats 3.2%; Republicans 9.7%. You can try to excuse it away but it's reality. The same way you try to excuse away the health statistics; industrialized countries with national programs pay about 1/2 for health care and in most important measurements have better results. These are both very broad readings of specific measurable statistics. I don't know what to say Tim. The numbers prove you are wrong.
