Only thing is... whenever there's a GOP government, there's a deficit; when there's a Dem govt., they exit with a surplus...
Seems to me the Republican government spends money they don't have then Democrats come in and collect it on taxes, only to let the next Republican administration spend that and then some into the negative....
It looks like a cycle or a checks & balance swing equation, assuming that some decades you'll have dems, others reps...
Either way, as fucked as our Canadian govt. has become, the US seems really strangled by a (two-party) system built to re-enforce itself at the population's expense...
