From an accountant's point of view being "in the red" is not a good thing. It means your outgo is more than your income. Desirable?

You lose more often than you win
You pay out more than you take in

Eventually you are out of business being "in the red".

    And Blue means depressed. 

    These colors and their meaning in nonpolitical context have nothing to do with the parties. Or their positions.

    If you don't mind the Olde English money, You can't do better than Mr Micawber's dictum:

    "Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen [pounds] nineteen [shillings] and six [pence], result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds nought and six, result misery."
