Fiscally Conservative Budget Hawks for Democrats
Vote for the party of your choice, of course.  But if your central concern is the debt.  Consider this data before casting your ballot.

It is surprising to me that the facts are so heavily skewed in one direction and yet the myth that the other side is more fiscally responsible lives on in the hearts of so many voters.

 

Does it mean that when they say they are fiscally conservative they mean something else? Does it reflect the enormous power after Citzens United to overwhelm us with ads designed to convince us the opposite of what the facts clearly demonstrate? Even if we circulate this graph, and others like it, widely and daily...can we get us back to a conversation that is, if not based on fact, at least not based on the OPPOSITE of what the best available data suggests?

 

If this data makes you reconsider and decide that job creation is your top issue, and not the debt, than see earlier blog (Monday August 27) with that data as well...pointing similarly to superior performance by the Democratic Party, including President Obama. 

 

There are plenty of reasons to vote for either party, but if debt or jobs are your top reasons, the facts point in one fairly clear direction.
