Re: "I'm saying the perspective of the piece is one of being about parties, and of blaming one party more than the other, and thus biased or not, accurate or not, relevant or not, it is definitionally partisan." Well... just SO LONG as we do not FORGET the actual historical record! (I have no problem with bringing in more sophisticated arguments, and certainly no argument with bringing in OTHER relevant facts from the same historical record....) But the sheer magnitude of this record cannot be swept under the rug: It would seem 'partisan' in the extreme (and silly beyond belief...) to attempt to deny that THUS FAR the modern GOP has UTTERLY FAILED in it's (frequently) expressed 'goal' of "eliminating federal deficits and debt". Whatever tactics they may have been using seem to have come a'cropper. (And that's the politest way I can think of to describe the unmitigated disaster that has befell federal deficits in the most recent 20 years of GOP control over the Executive.) Prior to this lamentable modern period the GOP's record was completely different.
