That's how it always works. Republicans shit in the bed, but it's only uncovered after a Democrat gets elected. Then they fix everything, only for the next republican to start the process over.
Kind of like how W. Bush ran up all kinds of debt off the books in Iraq and Afghanistan and Obama gets slammed for bringing it front and center:

And that doesn't even take into account the massive Pentagon fraud perpetuated year after year:

It's the Republican tradition.. Bash the solution then blame the problem on the other side.
it's the right wing playbook, the same shit happens everywhere
