Why do republicans pretend to be fiscally conservative when they spend more than democrats?

You know what I'm not seeing here? An actual decrease in debt.

This and the reason the debt went down so much isn't completely due to the Clinton administration.

The economy was so good in that decade that so much consumer spending happened and of course that brings down the debt. People payed more taxes under Clinton too and the government didn't spend much due to fiscal conservatism, that's when the Republican revolution happened in Congress and government spending comes from Congress mostly not the executive branch.

Republicans do spend less. The only reason it looks like this is that the Reagan administration needed to spend money on a bigger military to stop the Soviet Union and George W. Bush had the Iraq war to spend on.

Also look at congress during the Reagan administration, democrats spent so much money then.

Republicans aren't fiscally conservative due to social programs like war on drugs, etc as well as inflated military spending, foreign aid, and interventionism. Doesn't make democrats not just as bad though.

Also, it's not very likely that the economy correlates perfectly with the way a president operates. It's heavily dependent on congressional budgets and federal reserve actions which can take varying amounts of time to take effect on the economy at large.

Who was in control of the House of Representatives during each of those administrations?

Tax cuts for the rich and globalist wars are expensive and those are the only 2 reasons for the Republican Party to exist.

Why do you pretend that Republicans and Democrats are different when they are literally the same fucking bundle of Neoconservatives serving Israeli interests?

why do they hate taxing the rich? theyre fucking rich theyve got money to burn

Neo-Con foreign policy is expensive.
If we put America first this wouldn't be a problem

>m-m-muh tax cuts!
kek. You know where your tax dollars go, dipshit? Every cent of them goes to paying the interest on the budget loan the Federal Reserve gives the government every year.

Taxes go straight into the hands of a bunch of bankers. Not a cent of it is redistributed, not a penny of it is given to the working man. That money was all loaned at obscene interest, and your taxes are the collection.

Congrats retard, you've played yourself. Your plan to punish the ebil rich actually just gave 30% of the annual budget to the wealthiest men in the world, and you'll sit right there and demand that they be given more of our money like the good little shabbos goy that you are.

The rich are the business owners and job creators. They believe in trickle down economics, wealth would natural redistribute itself as those creating the wealth have more things or people to spend it on.
The more money you have the more people you could pay.

forgot to add this would work if we didn't outsource all of our fucking jobs.

National debt isn't the same as spending you fucking retard. And it does nothing to address our assets. Every country in the world wants to invest in us because we have the best money making potential. THE ONLY SUPERPOWER IN THE WORLD

MRW people think the president is actually responsible for fiscal policy and not congress

Because they keep records of what they spend.

Democrats kick that can down the road.

*claps*
Thanks for the info

Fuck the neocons and the dems both are shit and fucked by soros.

The argument that Republicans typically make is that the Rich use their money more efficiently and in a way healthier for the economy than the Government would, so they (and everyone else, for that matter) should be taxed as little as possible and government programs should be kept to a minimum.

Of course, that is what they say. What they DO is in fact much different. What the Republicans DO is maintain some of the highest corporate taxes in the world while printing colossal amounts of money and handing it out to bankers, failed corporations and their political donors.
The Democrats do this too, but they add in higher income taxes on private citizens to hasten the delivery of more of your money into the hands of the Rothschilds, while throwing a pittance into the pig's pen of the Ghettoes to keep the blacks and the latinos loyal.

Both parties are rabidly militaristic and hawkish, both parties enjoy an incestuous relationship with big business and big banks, and both parties have expanded illegal surveillance on the citizenry along with an ever-escalating police presence in our lives. Every time funding is cut, they do not strip it from the endless fat of bureaucracy, wasteful spending and the military, no no, they make sure that every penny they are denied hurts you. They shut down public parks, let infrastructure rot, cut welfare and social services and generally make your life shit to punish you, PUNISH YOU you fucking goyim, for having the audacity to want the government not to sell your childrens' lives to a bunch of creditors before they are born.

And it's not going to change, because all anyone cares about are the fucking buzzwords like "trickle-down economics!" and "fair share" and "job creators," as though any of that were even on the table.

Dude that whole graph is BS from a biased source.

Got anything from infowars while you're at it? Or how about some natural news?

The President is not a dictator, or a king. His power is VERY limited.
Congress as a whole (not individual members) but as WHOLE is more or less just as powerful as the President.
The Republicans controlled congress (both HOR and Senate) for 6 out of 8 years of the Clinton administration.
Presidents can of course veto legislation that congress passes. However Clinton is well known for NOT vetoing much of the Republican controlled congress, instead embracing and giving the
go ahead on many fiscal deals. (in short: GOP ran the 90s).

>Why do republicans pretend to be fiscally conservative when they spend more than democrats?
Well because alot of them are, but there are many exceptions. GWB is perhaps the greatest example of these. Bush was hardly a conservative (even beyond fiscal: no child left behind etc.).

All of this is of course child's play compared to the spending hikes introduced by Obama during his first term (with a strong Democrat control of congress at the time).
These budget hikes have yet to be repealed because Obama does nothing but veto the budget cutting Republican legislation. All in the name "muh food stamps muh welfare you greedy conservatives hate poor people!" etc etc
I would also like to throw in that military spending is roughly 15% of the national budget, seeing as people always like to foolishly bring this up as being the main debt contribution.
