different between DEMs/GOP?
I don't think there's any difference anymore between the 2 parties. Just rhetoric.
coldfuse. Either you are playing a trick with numbers or you don't have a clue. Actual Debt numbers from the CBO do not support your "claims".
National Debt When Jimmy Carter started: $660 billion.

Debt added during Carter's four years: $337 billion

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 George W. Bush's eight years: $5.2 - $5.7 trillion (mixed numbers).

Debt added to-date Barack Obama: $1.8 - $2.4 trillion (mixed numbers). Includes Bush's “off the books” War DEBT 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%.
Maybe you're playing with a proposed deficit number versus actual DEBT.
