Back to poly-sci 101 for you. Out of control spending is not a party issue. Clinton was infinitely more fiscally responsible than either of the Bush's or Reagan. The republicans have been fooling the public for decades now claiming to be fiscal conservatives, and "proving" it by cancelling humanitarian programs left and right. That saves a lot of money, but they waste it anyway by pumping it straight into the military whether its needed or not.
