Uh, we started this administration with a Budget surplus, and now we are more in debt than ever. How exactly is that fiscally conservative? Not saying democrats are, but if that statment it ever was true, is definitely myth now.

There was no budget surplus when the current administration started. It only looked like a surplus if you ignored many of the real financial obligations.
