Everyone blows up the national debt and everyone has a special reason why they usually don’t but this time they have to. Democrats blow up the national debt to benefit their voters, Republicans blow up the national debt to benefit their voters. Just party politics.

Besides, I more meant personal budget than national budget. Hence the contrast with relatively wealthier urbanites.

The republicans are still seen by some as the party of the blanced budget only because they were the last ones to care about it. Gingrich in the 90s was the last to successfully do it, and since then about 10 republicans have actually ever voted for it but the majority want their ticket items to be paid for same as democrats
