A minute of research has led me to conclude the discussed limit which comes from the 1997 Balanced Budget Act[1] was, like most of these sorts of efforts, passed by a Republican controlled Congress with weak opposition from Democrats. Republicans in the House voted 219 for and 7 against with Democrats 51 for and 154 against[2]. There was even less resistance in the Senate with 52 Republicans for with 3 against and 21 Democrats for and 24 against[3]. OP's "suspicion" was not "unfounded" and there was in fact "one party... driving this policy more than the other." If your complaint is simply that OP speculated on this without evidence, you're just as guilty of flagging their comment based on your own speculation without any evidence.
