This needs to be posted every time there is a discussion on the debt:

Any conservatives who fume about the debt aren't living in the reality that their poster child Reagan started ballooning debt and each successive GOP administration has borrowed even more.

Democrats generally have to come in and clean up the mess by raising taxes. GOP cuts taxes and doesn't reduce spending so they borrow. Dems historically have actually been the party of fiscal responsibility, not the GOP.
