Raised again by the brilliant Meteor Blades, let's analyze this with a photo.
And from Blades again:
Republicans, the party that doesn't even follow their own core principles.

And from Blades again:
National Debt When Jimmy Carter .....arrived at the White House:
$660 billion.
Added during Carter's four years: $337 billion.
Added during Ronald Reagan's eight years: $1.6 trillion.
Added during George H. W. Bush's four years: $1.6 trillion.
Added during Bill Clinton's eight years: $1.5 trillion.
Added during George W. Bush's seven years, nine months: $4.5 trillion.
Portion of the $9.5 trillion added to the national debt during the past 31 years and seven months that came during Republican presidencies: $7.7 trillion.
Percentage of that $7.7 trillion added during George W. Bush's two terms: 58%.
Could somebody explain again what "fiscal conservative" means?
Republicans, the party that doesn't even follow their own core principles.
