But actions speak louder than branding. Based on the end result it looks like both are pretty cool with living on borrowed dimes.

how can you be that astounded, it's been done

What does a rapist increasing military spending, cutting welfare programs, and using an exploitation based surplus to balance a budget that he didn't write 20 years ago have to do with Democrats caring about reckless deficit?

I don't really consider pure big L liberalism to be balancing the budget when that budget is in service to right wing "leftism" that is fascism to anyone outside of the country. Might as well applaud a heroin dealer who keeps up on their mortgage payments.

Idk, ask the people who collectively ran up the deficit for every single one of the 20 years since Cboy had direct control of policy.

the irony being that the GOP cries about it so much

Is Romney voting to remove Trump from office Stone Cold evidence of the GOP supporting Trump's removal from office?

I mean yeah in the same way Clinton was terrified of being seen as weak on crime so he was bully for mandatory minimums that devastated black communities. It's not something to praise Democrats for as a way to snipe at Republicans. It's weakness melded with an ultimate disinterest in what actually happens to people who are not middle class+.

could you imagine the GOP kneecapping themselves like that? Ofc not

Ain't nobody but Anteater justifying GOP driven deficit, but saying that conservative ass Democrats are concerned with reducing the deficit despite their actions consistently proving otherwise is like..dumb.
