Dear Scumbria: You cut the BS. The Democratic House never cut spending. And the President's budget is usually DOA mostly when the party in control of the White House is not the same as the one in the House of Representatives. And between 1960 and 1993 the only time that happens is when a Republican was President since the House was under Democratic control that whole time. Meaning it is not even used as the basis of the budget written in the House where, by the constitution requires it to start. GW Bush is the first Republican President since Eisenhower to enjoy the budget not being threatened to be DOA. When it happened to Clinton, he usually shut down the government to get his pet projects paid for. Besides, what Congress has ever passed the President's Budget as is (without admendments, changes, etc.)? Clinton's budget blueprint in 1993 were for "deficits as far as the eye can see" . In other words, never being in balance. In that blueprint, spending increased faster than 4% during his years in office and with the smallest occuring after he leaves office in 2001. It took the Republicans in the house less than a year to show him wrong in theory and three years in fact. The higher bar of not including SS and HI, was passed five years after they took control of Congress. Pete
