Dems - fight for nothing, stand for nothing

you forget that clinton balanced the budget and then bush proceeded to start two unfunded wars, he also passed unfunded tax cuts and unfunded medicare prescription benefits
The budget under Clinton was NOT balanced. Why do idiots still insist on this bullshit fucking lie? The budget came "close" to being balanced - on paper only, through slight of hand - by transferring the social security trust fund into the general fund and SPENDING it.

Last I looked, when someone borrows from their savings to make their revenues match their spending, it is not a balanced budget.

Further, the federal debt rose each and every year Clinton was in office. Second point: if your outstanding debt is higher at the end of any given fiscal year, you are not operating on a balanced budget.

To give Clinton - and the republican congress he worked with - credit, they did more to actually reduce spending in relation to revenues of any admin and congress since before WWI. But balanced? Hardly.
