    The recently deposed Republican majority increased the federal debt by $7.9 trillion in the eight years it controlled the House of Representatives.
    At the close of business on Jan. 4, 2011, the day before the Republicans took control of the House, the debt was $14,014,049,043,294.41, according to the Treasury.
    On Jan. 3, 2019, the last day before the Republicans turned control of the House back to the Democrats, the debt closed at $21,929,258,046,653.58.
    So, under the Republican House majorities in four Congresses, the debt climbed $7,915,209,003,359.17.

    "Government ... does not exist of necessity, but rather by virtue of a tragic, almost comical combination of klutzy, opportunistic terrorism against sitting ducks whom it pretends to shelter, plus our childish phobia of responsibility, praying to be exempted from the hard reality of life on life's terms."

    Republicans are only slightly better domestically, both major parties are warhawks,
    so yea, I agree, no difference when it comes to killing to feed Haliburtonesq' firms, and
    the military industrial complex in general.
