"we'll always run a deficit "
Tell that to Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich. Although, they had the advantage of the Baby Boomers not yet being a drain on SS and Medicare. Thanks to that, maybe deficits are unavoidable.

Agreed 100%. Both parties worry about the debt when they are the minority, and then spend like crazy once in power to buy votes.
