lol, actually more like 35 years but who is counting.  Started with me with Uncle Ron who complained about Carter's deficits but then blew them up many times over.  Then under GW republicans finally admitted that Deficits don't matter when they are in office.  Well they do matter especially when they go to fund a lot of wasteful government spending.  Wouldn't be so bad if it funds good government spending that results in new jobs, businesses, etc that improve society as a whole but they generally don't. 

No democrats cannot claim moral superority as they are just as likely to support a runaway military complex as republicans. This addiction to cheap military money needs to be broken but it is harder to break than heroin addiction.  Shame big Dan was so addicted.
