Which party is more likely to engage in massive deficit spending?

Question

and which party is more likely to work towards balanced budgets?

Let's see how many cons live in lala land.

cookie, because I like to see what other people think.

Answer 1

Neither. While liberal ***** about the current deficit spending, Hillary will spend even more, put us in deeper debt than Bush, and the liberals will admire her "courage" for putting us deeper in debt.

Answer 2

If you look at the track record over the last 60 years, its always been the republicans that have increased the size of the federal government and conducted borrow and spend campaigns.

Answer 3

The Republicans are more likely to engage in deficit spending, whereas the Democrats are more likely to engage in deficit spending.

How's that? Want to try for my answer to balanced budgets?

Bottom line - they're all taking your money and just shoving it down different ratholes, none of which accomplish anything.

Obviously, I'm not rising towards your (liberal) bait.

Neither party is interested - they're looking solely to keep themselves and their parties in office...nothing more. If you're still expecting "government of the people, by the people and for the people", then you should come out of the late 1700's. Things have changed since then.

Conservatives are tired of the Republican's shenanigans, so don't lump them together.

Answer 4

Since Congress has more to do with the spending than the President does I would say they both do. People have never given the days of the Clinton era the credit was do to a Republican Congress being in office to hold back his spending agenda.

Answer 5

Of late it would be the Rethuglicans in their massive tax cuts for the "haves and have mores" and in their reckless creation of that money black hole which is the Dictator Dumbya Big Lie Iraqi Crusade. WJC had us on track toward a balanced budget.

Answer 6

It doesn't matter which party is in office, they are both trying to outspend each other like dueling kindergarten kids over who has the most of everything. If either party would stop behaving like children with our money, and start spending it on the things that really matter for this country, we could return to the type of prosperity that made us the greatest nation in history!

Answer 7

It seems to be both parties do. It's because the American people have largely been asleep or too apathetic to try to do something about it.
We need massive demonstrations.

Answer 8

The GOP borrows and spends, the Dem's tax and spend

Answer 9

War debt: Con's don't seem to grasp exactly how much a couple trillion dollars is. Not to mention the million or billion accruing per day for interest.

Answer 10

I think everyone here summed it up just fine. Well except for one. He seems to know what a candidate will do once in office before the person even gets there.

Answer 11

The Republicans are more likely to increase the National Debt.
