Dwight Eisenhower was last Republican President to preside over a balanced budget. He had a balanced budget in 1956 and 1957. Since then, there have been two presidents to preside over balanced budgets, 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.

To clarify, congress authorizes the budget. Between 1955 and 1981 Democrats held majorities in both chambers of Congress. From 1981 - 1987 republicans controlled the Senate, while Democrats held onto the House and then regained the Senate while holding controlling the House as well from 1987 -1995.
=======================================

A. Clinton had to come and clean up after the Reagan/Bush home loan scandals against the Savings and Loan Institutions. Neoconservatives are neither republicans nor the economic giants of our time!

This fraud:

1. Wiped out retirement plans connected to savings and loan institutions

2. Put millions of formerly retired people back into the job market who were
60's and older. The job market at this time was no better than today.

3. Taught millions how to appreciate Social Security and Medicare

B. Then Obama had to come in and clean up after a repeat performance by Bush/Cheney only on a much grander scale. Neoconservatives are neither republicans nor the economic giants of our time!

C. Jeb Bush defaulted on a $4.56 million loan from Broward Federal Savings in Sunrise, Florida. After federal regulators closed the S&L, the office building that Jeb used the $4.56 million to finance was reappraised by the regulators at $500,000, which Bush and his partners paid. The taxpayers had to pay back the remaining 4 million plus dollars.

D. In essence what we have is democrats cleaning up fraudulent financial disasters republicans leave behind and needing to create huge numbers of new employment for Americans who were screwed by republican party activity.

The problem is not a missing link verifying whether or not our stimulus money is creating new jobs. The problem lies within the republican party that which destroys families by the millions.

Again these white collar crimes under republican watch are teaching millions how to appreciate Social Security and Medicare under rather unpleasant circumstances. WE do not want to turn Social Security and Medicare over to white collar criminals.

where's that picture of the Obama in Superman's suit when you need one.??

:eusa_shifty:
 
Worty of remembering as well in relation to the debt is that when Reagan took office the national debt was under 1 trillion.
 
Republicans also started NASA. A government organization that has brought untold billions or trillions to the country in the form of revenues.

Eisenhower pushed science education.

Eisenhower's tax rates for the wealthiest Americans was around 90%. They didn't go to another country. The made more money.

No one ever accused Dwight D. Eisenhower of being a "socialist".

Then in the 60's, conservatives fled the Democratic Party and swelled the ranks of the Republican Party. Most of the liberals left the Republican Party and joined the Democratic Party.

This is why today's Republican Party is 90% white, mostly Christian. Only 6% of scientists are Republican, even though they scream there must be more. Only about 6% of scientists don't believe in evolution. Hmmm, what a coincidence.

Around 6% of people in any profession are not totally sane.

Although I think politicians run a much higher number than that.

I think you are confusing evolution with something else, Mutant. :D Considering your warped view of History, that's understandable.
 
How important is a balanced budget considering so many repub administrations never bothered?
 
Fine libs, there is still time to dump Barry Hussein. Go and find a democrat who is still willing to balance the budget

And yet none of those Presidents balanced the budget on their own, that job is done by Congress.

To give Clinton credit for balancing the budget is just laughable, he hated what Congress gave him but had no choice but to sign. He did not want cuts, he wanted to increase spending for the typical Democrat socialst programs.

If Dems are the people we can trust to balance a budget, then why aren't they promoting the idea of a balanced budget amendment? Oh yea, because everyone knows they are completely full of shit when it comes to their claims that they would ever balance a budget.

Or it brought any figure turds like you want to make up, right? How did NASA bring revenues to the country, from the invention of Tang?

Eisenhower pushed science education.

Yeah, that was a difficult achievement, and Democrats have been undermining science education ever since.

Eisenhower's tax rates for the wealthiest Americans was around 90%. They didn't go to another country. The made more money.

What they did is put all their money into non-taxable municipal bonds. They didn't invest it in the economy.

No one ever accused Dwight D. Eisenhower of being a "socialist".

Well, yeah, actually someone did. The John birch society called him a socialist, and they were right.
 
The greatest spenders to date:

In the end big debt and super duper bailouts were the results which does not seem to bother Republicans, as long as they are in power.

In fact, by the time the second Bush left office, the national debt had grown to $12.1 trillion:

* Over half of that amount had been created by Bush’s tax cuts for the very wealthy.

* Another 30% of the national debt had been created by the tax cuts for the wealthy under Presidents Reagan and George H.W. Bush.

• Fully 81% of the national debt was created by just these three Republican Presidents.

Could you point out those balanced budget years from the debt chart please. I think you are lying myself.

Don't forget the Keating 5. John McCain was number 5. His fame saved his ass.
