All the available data shows this is not true. Compare debt / deficit with R as president compared to D in our life times. Reagan, Bush, Trump have been the kings at driving up our national debt. Carter, Clinton, Obama kept it much more under control. It's even more drastic when you ignore the years there were presidents from one party operating under a budget from the other.

When it comes to debt, and spending money we don't have, the Republicans are extreme liberals.
