This is an important topic. I am glad to see nuanced analysis. Regarding the above phrase, Republicans have long cultivated an image of fiscal restraint, even if the last three decades have exposed it as just an image. I got your drift. Fraud Guy's comment is enough of a corrective. bh. Larry,

It is not necessary, and seems to imply that you expect Democrats to create deficits, not Republicans. In my political lifetime, it has been the Republican administrations who have increased the deficits, so you may wish to change it to ", which is typical for a Republican administration."
