People only care about the national debt when a Democrat is in the White House. The GOP’s tone will completely change once Trump is gone. A natural disaster strikes? “Oh, we can’t afford to send any aid. Have you seen the debt? We need to cut spending from some social program.” Unless, that is, there’s a recession, then it’ll be “we need to provide some tax relief.”

There really is no equivalency. Democrats when they care about deficits in or out of power the walk the walk. Mostly caring about deficits doesn't fit their model. They're Keynesians whatever. But Republicans just straight up never care when they are in power. They run the deficit up like no one is ever going to have to pay the bill. Then they lose the election and discover a conscience. Its been thirty years of this at this point. It is what it is.
