Dear Scumbria:

The Congress has more to do with deficits and surpluses. It only took 6 years of a Republican House to go from "300 billion dollar deficits as far as the eye can see" (from a commentary on Clinton's 94 budget) to "going to zero debt faster than anyone could have expected" (from yesterday's AG testimony). It took over 40 years of a Democratic House to generate that 5 trillion in debt you refer to. Only one year during that span, when Nixon refused to fully spend money allocated from Congress, did there exist a surplus (and they fixed it so that he would have to spend all the money for every subsequent year).

Kind of hard to admit it was your side at fault, isn't it?

Pete
