>>One of us IS ignorant "Truman had a GOP Congress..."

Yes, and it's you. Truman did have a GOP Congress.

>>The only GOP majority during the Eisenhower was the 83rd Congress ('53-'55), which ran up deficits of $6.5b, $1.1b, and $3.0b. The only surpluses during the Eisenhower years were under Demo majorities ('56 and '57).

Wrong. How can the GOP, which reduced the Truman deficits, be responsible for three years? Seems that the GOP set the budget up for balancing, which the Dems promptly unbalanced.
