America needs a man who can get the job done!
You do know that happened under a Republican majority, right ?
True, but Clinton gets the credit since the budget deficits began falling before Republicans took over the Congress and began rising after Clinton left office. Clearly, the GOP couldn't balnce the budget without Clinton's leadership.
Clinton was dragged kicking and screaming to a balance budget.
More revisionist history. Just like your claim that a Cort awarded Jones $850,000.
In reality, it was Republicans who refused to sign Clinton's first budget, which passed anyway since Democrats still controlled the Congress. During his first two years in office, Clinton lowered the deficit by 36% to 163b, before Republicans passed their first budget. That was lower than all 4 years of Bush and 3 of Reagan's years. When factoring in inflation with real figures, Clinton lowered the deficit before Republicans passed their first budget to a level lower than all 12 Reagan/Bush years.
That trend continued after Republicans took over Congress.
That trend ended when Clinton left office and while Republicans still controlled Congress. Then it ballooned out of control. So no, Republicans couldn't balance shit without Clinton's leadership.
