Nice line, but reality is just the opposite.  The Democrats over the
past decade have been the party of fiscal responsiblity, holding
Republican pork spending at bay, eliminating the defecit, and paying
down the national debt.  Now that the Republicans are in power, we
have seem outlandish increases in spending, record defecits are back,
and hole new branches of government have been created as massive
spending machines.  At the same time, Bush attacked the wrong
country in the war on terror, then put through a huge tax cut for
the richest 2% which had the net result of increasing the tax burden
on the middle class and forced the largest incrase in medicare
co-payments in history (17%).  Bush has been a disaster for jobs,
for the people, for the US, and for the world as a whole.

Go back and look at statistics over the past 40 years and see who
has created all the jobs.  You will find that the vast majority
of job creation happened under Democratic administrations or when
the Democrats controled Congress.  In contrast, both Bush 
presidencies have been economic depressions leading to huge losses
of jobs.  The facts don't lie, only neo-conservatives lie.
