Let History be our guide. Every Republican President since Reagan has increased both Deficit spending and increased National Debt. Clinton actually decreased the National Debt and created surpluses for his last two years in Office. Obama was left with the biggest financial mess since the one Republicans left Roosevelt with. He is doing what Democrats historically have done. Limited spending on wasteful projects and increased spending on projects that have a great return. Democrats always seem to get our financial house in order until the next Republican comes along to blow it all on give-aways for the wealthy.
