Were you really that naive? They were Democrats. Democrats don't want to cut spending. Did you not know that?

Back in 1992, I didn't know that everyone who worked in the media was a Democrat. I thought they were "journalists" who had no declared political preference.

But why do Democrats want to spend government money? Why do they want to run up deficits? I remember Sam Nunn was a relatively reasonable Democrat, and there were a few others. (Fritz Hollings.)

So why is the modern Democrat party so intent on Deficit Spending? Is it to acquire and keep power?

They are not intent on deficit spending. They are intent on spending. They set up programs to win votes. If they could collect more taxes to pay for them they would, but they can't, so they don't.

It's been that way for some time. Didn't you know? The nominal beneficiaries change, but the program hasn't changed since Roosevelt. Once upon a time it was Southern Whites the Democrats appealed to. Now it isn't.
