That's gonna need citations. The way I see it, government spending has ALWAYS been increasing and taxes as well. Maybe both parties should stop sending money to countries for foreign aid and start paring back spending.
note, this is from 2012, but still relevant because the upward trend is still happening.

- tzs 8y agoOK, let me revise that since I can't actually say that Democrats "get" that you can't pair big tax cuts with big tax increases. However, for whatever reason, Democrats don't seem to do big tax cuts coupled with big tax increases. In fact, I don't see offhand any major Democrat Federal tax cuts since the '60s (Johnson administration).
