that's yet another "both sides are the same!" fallacy

you are right in that neither can fix it entirely

only one party consistently raises the debt->deficit

and only one party consistently lowers it

hint: you cannot spend $21 TRILLION on militarizing the country and going to war without exploding the deficit, there's no profit in war, only massive expense

and that $21 Trillion was before the Iran War which is going to go on for years and cost another trillion to replace all the weapons and ships, remember all those bases and planes that were destroyed which this administration is covering up

> there's no profit in war

* There's lots of profit for military contractors and other insiders, which is the entire point!
