The public has a misconception that the GOP is fiscally responsible. The GOP only pays attention to the deficit when a DEM is in the house.

You made him Emperor of the United States or what? He is only PRESIDENT of the United States of America not the EMPEROR. Basically it boils down to "You give me my pet projects and I'll give you yours.". IN THEORY, they are equals but as we can see here, even by your own words, the Prez gets first look when things go wrong. More heat is on him, IOW there is more pressure because people will blame that one guy and not the elected creeps. Kinda unequal in practice.
Yes, I agree that the GOP talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk. Think the Dems are going to be better? I don't think so. Both sides need their pet projects to buy votes. No money, no projects. It is that simple.
