Forplay is confused. The Democrats' mantras isn't "borrow and spend," but tax and spend. Both parties like spending, because the people like government services and reward politicians who provide them. Democrats pay for the spending. Republicans want to have their cake and eat it too.

This is why I'm far more critical of republicans than dems. Republicans are the party of cut-taxes-and-spend. The dems are the party of raise-taxes-and-spend. While both are negative, the republican strategy is the worst of the two since it ultimately digs a hole we might not be able to climb out of.
