The GOP broke all records when it came to deficit spending.

Then the Democrats came in and made it worse.

Explain to me again why I should vote for the GOP when they inherited a surplus and handed a trillion dollar deficit to their successors?

This cycle of the 'new guy' being worse than the 'old guy' has got to stop and I don't see either party having the stones to take a good hard look at things.

Here's a hint as to why the deficit seems harder to tame than before - we're not running quarter-trillion dollar surpluses in Social Security anymore to hide the general deficit. We're breaking even and heading into a deficit in that column.
