There is no question that Democrats have a reputation as big spenders, and the Republicans as fiscal watchdogs. Those reputations I believe were fairly earned.
I have an announcement. That was 30 years ago people! Things change.
Of the four presidents since 1980, Bill Clinton was the only democrat, and the only one to show even a trace of fiscal sanity. Granted, he had a Republican Congress to deal with much of the time, which is the key to everything, as far as I'm concerned.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely. And right now, the Republican Party is as corrupt as they come. We need some balance back.
And don't worry, when the Democrats begin to become intoxicated with power, I'll rail on them too!
