The problem here, Host, is that I do not care about differences of degree, only of kind.
Sure, the Democrats were perhaps less bad in certain areas. But they made up for it in other areas, in spades. The Republicans have done likewise. The fact is that both parties have spent more than they have earned and passed the debt down to someone else's children. They have both been doing this for sixty years at least, to my knowledge, and the size of the debt matters not a whit as far as I'm concerned.
The Republicans gave us union-busting and foreign war, the Democrats gave us victim disarmament, Ruby Ridge, and ever-expanding entangling alliances. Then the Republicans came back and gave us the PATRIOT Act and all it's excrementitious offspring, which the Democrats will not hesitate to turn on the people -they- find distasteful when they inevitably regain power.
