Really, do you think I'm that stupid merely because I do not fall for the trope of "50 years" of Republicans? That was totally non-factual and I proved it. There is blame to go around on both sides. Jimmy Carter deregulated the airlines. Bill Clinton signed both NAFTA and the repeal of Glass-Steagall.

As far as debt under Reagan...you do know enough civics to understand only Congress can initiate a spending bill, right? Even if you did not know it before I posted it you do know the US Congress was controlled continuously by Democrats under Reagan, right? Are you smart enough to see what I'm getting at or are you too blinded by ideology?

There is plenty of blame to go around. Sure, (D) might be to the left of (R) but you're really going to have a hard time making the case (D) has not been to the right of center in aggregate voting and legislation proposed in the last 30+ years. If you do not acknowledge (D) shares some blame there is no fixing the problem.
