...They've never done it? I'm not saying the DEMs do either. But those are not the basic foundations of the DEM charter.
So what even distinguishes the GOP anymore from DEMs?
Is the GOP cat just out of the bag now more than ever before after the Bush 8 years of excessive spending and growing the government 33%?
Debt + Government size grew under Carter, Reagan, Bush Sr., Clinton, Bush Jr...
Debt added during Ronald Reagan's eight years: $1.6 trillion
Debt added during George H. W. Bush's four years: $1.6 trillion
Debt added during Bill Clinton's eight years: $1.5 trillion
Debt added during George W. Bush's eight years: $5.2 - $5.7 trillion (mixed numbers).
Portion of the $10.5 trillion added to the national debt during the past 32 years that came during Republican presidencies: $8.7 trillion.
Percentage of that $8.7 trillion added during George W. Bush's two terms: 63%.
