More parsing of the facts. The facts used in an argument about an important issue should be analyzed critically. webster.com As for your post more ignoring of the arguments against your point. Not refuting them, or even building up a new argument that they don't apply to. No a weakness in your argument is pointed out and you just pretend it doesn't exist. The party responsible for the debt can not simply be determined by what party hold the presidency at the time. As I pointed out congress also bears responsibility for large debts, and may be the cause of much smaller debts (for example the Republican congress when Clinton was president). Beyond that the current conditions and the debt inherited from predecessors, and the new expensive programs that predecessors create all have an impact on the debt. Democrats 3.2%; Republicans 9.7%. Democrats, doesn't equal Democratic presidents. Republicans doesn't equal Republican presidents. The majority of the spending happened under Democratic controlled congresses. The majority of the large spending programs whose creation was primarily associated with one part or the other are associated with the Democrats. The numbers prove you wrong.
