That's what they say pgh, but that's not what they do.
The last Republican to balance the budget was Dwight Eisenhower in 1956 and 1957. Since then, there have been two (2), LBJ in 1969 and Clinton in 1998 through 2001. During the last 40 years there have been five budget surpluses, all five were under Democratic Presidents: 1969, 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2001.
In my lifetime, Clinton is the only fiscal conservative we've had.
