Republicans Don’t Really Care About Reducing America’s Debt
That’s because for most Republicans, deficit reduction is a smokescreen. What they really want is “smaller” government, by which they mean government that taxes less and spends less on domestic programs. (On defense, Republican small government orthodoxy tends to wane.) Republicans want smaller government when deficits are high and when deficits are low. But when deficits are high, they pour old wine into new bottles and pretend that smaller government and deficit reduction are the same thing.
There is much truth in what you say. However, historically the Republicans have increased our national debt more than Democrats.
GOP Presidents Have Been the Worst Contributors to the Federal Debt
It'd probably help if that link used honest numbers. They're using ones that are having Clinton running surplus. Which as we all know never happened.
Oh wait....I forgot, some people don't know what debt is. My bad.
Maybe you should do some more "credible" research...
