The GOP is the party of deficits. The Democrats are the party of fiscal responsibility. That's been the case since the 1950s.

We have two parties in America, a conservative "big-tent" party and a party whose constituency consists of fundamentalist Christians and people who either are rich or desperately want to be.

Guess which is which.

Seriously? Eisenhower was the one trying to reduce the deficit and his monetarist policies even contributed to his unpopularity in 1958. LBJ on the other hand was mister guns 'n' butter. At least say since the 70's. Attaching LBJ to fiscal responsibility and Eisenhower to fiscally liberal republicans is entirely false.

wat.

Monetarism didn't exist as policy until the 70s.
