IOW, there is a HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PARTIES historically speaking. I tire of hearing "there is no difference" rhetoric of some of our friends here on FR.

The only quibble I would have with the article is the emphasis on the largest deficits:

The deficits of 1943, 1944 and 1945, with Defeatocrats in control, were all larger.

While true, within context, these deficits are ENTIRELY justifiable and understandable, as the nation was trying to defeat totalitarians on a world wide scale.

I also want to emphasize the minority Republican party was not constantly denigrating our troops and the President's efforts in the war, either, during those years.

Can you imagine what the war would have been like if today's leftie loonies had been the opposition party? "Mr. Roosevelt, our casualties in this Normandy invasion of yours are just too high. Hitler did not attack America. We demand that you withdraw all US forces from Europe immediately, and concentrate on defeating the Japanese."

There is no difference between the parties. there are just opposite ends of the same yardstick. Only so much room to move on a yardstick and that is the problem.
