Who's Responsible

Snagged from [livejournal.com profile] ysabetwordsmith: a chart by Chuck Spinney, a Reagan-era budget analyst, showing the presidents Truman through Bush II, and how the national debt either increased or decreased during their terms.

Which begs the question: why do Republicans say they're the ones who are fiscally responsible?

"Why do Republicans say they're the ones who are fiscally responsible?"

Are you really asking? Because it feeds into an already existing stereotype of fiscally irresponsible Democrats, and if you say something enough times people start to believe it.

Oh, and by the way, why do you hate freedom?
