instead we have a debate between people who know nothing and learn nothing.

building infrastructure was once a thing folks on the right thought might be useful.

That is a nice chart CF. It shows Nixon's small surplus in his 1st term, the subsequent deficits thru Ford. The slight comeback under Carter and the awful recession under Reagan's 1st ( I lost two businesses in that one). Then the drop in Bush1's which cost him the election in '92 to Clinton. But then the dramatic comparisons: the Clinton period steady push back into surplus (PAYGO helped) for the first time since early Nixon, followed by Bush 2's drive ( tax cuts while fighting 2 wars) into the "great recession." Of course the climb from there has been slow though steady under O, which of course could have been much faster had the GOP controlled legislatures agreed to an infrastructure rebuild project. Pretty clear stuff unless one chooses to be misled.
