When Republicans Ran Things and Nothing Changed

It is little discussed in conservative circles that Republicans ran the house and the Senate for 8 years and yet almost $8 trillion (a number that defies rational thought) was added to the debt and Planned Parenthood was still funded and no border wall was budgeted.

Two of those years we had a Republican president and he never once refused to sign the budget in order to get his wall or demand a balanced budget.

The numbers will numb your brain and make your eyes glaze over but here is a taste from CNSNews.com 

“So, under the Republican House majorities in four Congresses, the debt climbed $7,915,209,003,359.17.

That works out to approximately $989,401,125,420 per year, or $2,710,688,015 per day, or $112,945,334 per hour, or $1,882,422 per minute.

In fact, under the Republican-controlled House, the federal debt increased at an average rate of $31,374 per second.”

The ugly truth is there is no operational difference between the Republicans and the Democrats on spending but really there is no difference between them on anything that counts.
