The period of 1994 through 2006 proves you wrong. There was sustained growth, low tax burden, etc, etc. Despite too much spending towards the end of that term, much was defense spending post 9/11. The deficit was curving back downward before the Dems took over. Saying we are worse off with the Dems in charge of the congress is simply a fool’s argument.

We are screwed. We didn't get to this sorry state as a country in just the year and a half Obama has been in office. We have been traveling this path for at least five decades, of which in two of the past three decades, a Republican held the White House. It's been a progression move to this point. A Bipartisan one. Screw both parties. This house of cards is gonna fall under either of the ruling parties. Tell me why I should think differently.
