You're totally right, of course. I wrote it in an attempt to "both sides" it but that one line caused the rest of what I wrote to be completely discounted. To double down on the comment about democrats, though, there's obviously a lot of conversation about increasing spending (e.g., Medicare for All and less-tectonic items like reintroducing health care subsidies) and with Trump in the White House nothing is going to happen on the increasing revenue side of things and so we have at least another two years of both rampant spending, and continued giveaways to those who can afford to give (some of it) back, a cocktail for even more inflation.
