So… we’re seeing that total war is expensive causing great debt, and then 5 of the next 6 are peace-time republicans from the late 20th early 21st century with no reasonable excuse for running absurd deficits (*maybe* cut Reagan a little slack for trying to get us out of “stagflation” just as Obama gets slack for trying to restart the economy after ’08 recession). Just one data point but a pretty damning indictment of Republican fiscal stewardship since Eisenhower.
Sounds like we need to put our tax-the-rich pants on
What does the graphic have to do with the title?
