Next time someone tells you that the republicans are the party of fiscal responsibility and/or growth, show them this (from the economist) and have them annotate the decades with a red or blue marker.

I love how the counter-argument is, “But the previous republican president set the democratics up for that!” So they always shift those markers one to the right and it looks much better for them. I don’t know if it is true for these graphs, I am too lazy to do it.
