"Its all about the size of the federal government. It has grown over the past 50 years under both parties because it provides services that people want."
No it's about creating jobs which become democrat voters.

Sure I can argue with that idea since it isn't true.

Social spending increase by more than the combination of war spending and any reasonable estimate of lost revenue from the tax cuts, therefore it is the primary driver of the increase in the deficits, not the other two.

Its all about the size of the federal government.

Exactly and that size increase is being driven primarily by entitlement spending.
