Reagan and Bush I increased the deficit by 240%, more than any president since Roosevelt or any afterwards. Bush II increased 101% to Obama's 74%. We know Trump spent like a drunk on payday but without the payday. So while Republicans can rightfully advocate fiscal responsibility, they can't truthfully claim to be voting for it.
