They may both be responsible, but not equally responsible. It is the welfare state that is killing this country. It started with FDR and was expanded by LBJ and Obama. Yes, Bush 43 added the prescription drug program, but the Dems are the architects.
It all boils down to different views on the role of government. The Dems are the party of Big Government and the Reps are the ones who want a smaller Big Government. The ruling class has decided our fate and the public must follow along. In fact, most of the public seems to support the culture of dependency.
Good take kabar. If we don’t support conservatism more and more in the Republican Party we will get what we deserve.
