Yes, the minority party complains about spending, the majority party spends. "D" and "R" doesn't enter into it.

You'll note even the minority party rarely does much about it, like, proposing concrete spending cuts or anything. Not quite never, but rarely. Or pushing actual cuts through a branch they control even if it will be shot down by another. Proposing a concrete cut would open them up to criticism. They just complain vaguely about the spending.

Not since Clinton in the 90s. Could use another pull back on military spending like we did then
