So the debt increased around three times as much under Republicans than under Democrats since Carter. Not that I think the Democrats are so great, I just find it interesting that to me the only possible appeal of Republican politics is economic, but their policies seem to have the worst economic effects. When you have an economic catastrophe on the scale of the 1930's or 2000's, the government has to ring up a huge amount of debt one way or another to make up for all of the money that the banks stole to prevent social collapse. These market abuses are the fault of Dems as well as Reps, but certainly it seems like the professed positions of the Reps, toward market deregulation, are to be avoided going forward if we don't want to repeat the cycle again.
