Pull up a chart of what the federal defecit has been under each party control over the past half century and it's pretty clear that one major party is a lot more culpable than the other. Spoiler alert, it's not the party that spends more time on vapid fiscal responsibilty messaging.
- chiefalchemist 3y agoThe members of both parties take an oath to serve the American people. Both are failing. The faux finger pointed and other associated theater doesn't change the fact that the voters / taxpayers are getting screwed. This party? That party?? That's pointless minutia at this point.
- wredcoll 3y agoSo your reaction to learning that one party is measurably worse in regards to a certain criteria is to immediately pivot to the argument that both sides are equally bad? Yes, in the long term, the sun is going to burn out and leave the earth a cold lifeless rock, but I can certainly do things right now to improve the "short term", like voting for a party that doesn't constantly overinflate the debt.
- chiefalchemist 3y agoSo your answer is to put all the responsible in the hands of a single party? And that doesn't make you get a case of "be careful what you wish for"?
