Geography professor who enjoys family life in a New England college town. I love nothing more than helping people to learn about the world -- near and far.
This graph shows a relationship between deficit spending and party affiliation that might surprise some conservatives. A fair critique is that the graph does not show party distinctions before Bush-Clinton-Bush. First reason: the debt ratio was falling through the entire period.
Second reason: prior to Bush I and Bush II, Republicans were actual conservatives. Bush I -- and especially Bush II -- are Republicans, but they are not conservatives. They are borrow-and-spend radicals who shovel public money into the pockets of their backers.
