TraderGreg,

I don't know if you've ever seen the analysis, and I do wish I would have saved it, but there was a very interesting analysis done comparing deficit spending to controlling parties in Congress and the Administration from 1940 or 1950 to present.

The analysis [and it wasn't a complicated one] showed quite clearly that there wasn't a correlation between party control within Congress and budget spending. There was, however, a very clear correlation between the Presidential party and deficit spending. The correlation was that Republican administrations most often correlate to increased deficits and Democratic Administrations correlated to decreasing deficit.

Historical US budget data is available at the GPO web site for verification.
