Versus the blind faith in a government that's adding trillions to the debt every year. These discussion are really showing us who was serious about the national debt and who isn't.

Here is a list of post-WW2 presidents and the % the debt rose under each president’s term in office (high to low):

Reagan      160.8% R
Bush 1       72.6% R
Obama        64.4% D
Bush 2       42.3% R
Nixon        34.3% R
Trump        33.1% R
Carter       29.9% D
Clinton      28.6% D
Biden        16.7% D
Ford         16.4% R
Johnson      11.5% D
Eisenhower    7.6% R
Kennedy       5.8% D
Truman        0.2% D

Which party dominates the highest increases and which party dominates the lowest increases? Top half 5 R and 2 D, bottom half 5 D and 2 R.

I think it shows who talks the talk and who walks the walk.
