Do you think Ross Perot could have changed the fiscal direction of our nation?

I was an idealistic youngster who enthusiastically supported him. At the time I had just been introduced to Rush Limbaugh and was high on fiscal responsibility. His dip in and out of the race likely cost him the election but I still voted for him.
 
The Budget actually balanced with Clinton in the WH and Newt running Congress. They raised taxes slightly and cut spending slightly, and everything was fine. The economy boomed. If we don't get back to that concept soon we are going to be very sorry.

Actually, our fiscal direction was going the right way when Clinton left office.

Then came Bush, and deficits started skyrocketing again.

Then the deficits started shrinking with Obama.

Then came Trump, and the deficits are exploding again.

Hmmm...see a pattern?

This is why I don't support Trumps new tax cut proposal.
I want to see us get shit on track while we have a booming economy
 
No...He would have had to fight the spend-a-holics, in both parties, that ruled the roost back then.
Wasn't Newt in control then? If he drug an unwilling president into a balanced budget what could have been under Perot?
No...Republicans didn't take the HoR until 1994.

And, as Perot pointed out numerous times, the budget was going to fall into balance all by itself by 2002...Neither Gingrich nor Clinton deserve the credit for that either.

The budget was on track to balance all by itself by 2002, where entitlement spending was projected to blow the deficits back up again...That was already baked in.

Though Bush exacerbated the problem, he didn't cause it.
