Which party is the party of fiscal responsibility?

[DenverChief]

Found this and thought it might spark some interesting debate

[DenverChief]

Amazing the stuff you can find, this is One Trillion pennies, which amounts to Ten billion, one hundred and sixty-six dollars and forty cents....just to give an idea of how far in debt we really are:

[DenverChief]

Number of pennies in circulation Two hundred billion, thirty-five million, three hundred eighteen thousand six hundred and seventy-two Pennies.

U.S. National Debt as of today -

4,045,660,567,959.00 - Public debt
2,969,140,269,519.20 - Intragovernmental holdings

For my parties, we always get the cheapest keg of beer possible.

I own my own tap, and I have a shell already. So, there's no deposits.

So, clearly, the answer is: ENDelt's party.

Any kegger without a deposit is the epitome of a party showing fiscal responsiblity. A tip of the (free@feedstore) hat.

I'd add winning the Cold War for Reagan, FYI.

I've no idea what the total costs of Bosnia, Haiti and Kosovo were? Not nearly as much as both Iraq's and the Cold War, I'd guess.

Ooops. Panama was December 1989, i.e., Bush Sr.

I've just got the one. If I ever needed more than one, I've got some friends I could call to borrow a shell, I believe. But, I'll never have a party at my current residence big enough to warrant getting more than one keg.

Heh. Last time I got a keg by like 9 or so the 8 or 10 guys I'd been hanging out with at the bar the night before had shown up. When I looked around and realized who was in attendance, I asked a question to the general group, "Hey, did anybody actually tell anyone else we were having a party tonight?" Everyone kinda looked at each other, and it became clear the answer was no. So, we just said **** it and got drunk anyway.

Ok Reagan still managed to keep the deficit under control while spending tons of money on nukes....that just strenghtens my point about GHWB

Trust me, I'm not at all pleased with GHW Bush's spending spree. If it were just on rebuilding our military and intelligence strength, I'd be less concerned. But, it's not.
