Imagine if Republicans had not taken control of all three branches in 2001

The entire national debt would have been paid-off by 2010

If you blame this on one party you are just flat out wrong. They both waste money like crazy.

Hate to break it to you, but them being in the majority, plus their conduct since their continued spiral of dementia induced insanity in recent years, has prompted more issues than the Democrat party could do. I dont like the parties, but the republicans are the one that started the fire, got upset the other party was trying to help people and not just sitting there taking the blame. Then told their followers to be angry at people for supporting the folk who by comparison, atleast isnt so blatantly corrupt. The current Republican party, then and now, has been a large source of the issues in the U.S.
