The republicans held both houses of congress from 1994 to 2006. Clinton was pres. from 92 to 2000, Bush from 2001 to today.Oh really? Provide some evidence, cite all the vetos that Clinton made from 94 to 2000. Be sure to specify the ones dealing with the budget.
After 8 years in office, Clinton produced a balanced budget and actually paid some on the national debt.
After 7 years in office, Bush has added 4 Trillion to the total national debt.
The republicans held congress the whole time. The only difference was who held the white house.
Your point that the repub congress produced Clinton's balanced budget is nonsense. If it was true, they would have continued to behave responsibly, which they did not. They increased the total national debt by 60% in 7 short years.
You don't have to veto bills to cut spending, you can also pass legislation that makes programs more efficient.
What did Bush veto, or what did he pass to make things more efficient? How about you posting some proof.
