I was going to use this quote yesterday, but correlation is not causation.

I prefer the one where the national debt increases more under "fiscally responsible" republicans.

More correlation: more jobs are created and inflation is lower under democratic administrations.

GDP is also better with a Dem president, but it partially depends on the makeup of congress.
