Good points, here. The policies of the Republican Party are going to increase the deficit by several hundred billion dollars.
My MAJOR gripe with this is that, while Maddow is correct that deficits were lowest when we had Democratic presidents, she chooses to completely disregard who held the majority in Congress during these presidencies. The party in power has just as much, if not more, to do with determining the budget than the president. As you can see from the following chart, Clinton had a Republican majority and Reagan had a Democratic majority.
