Ronald Reagan

NEWT GINGRICH and the republican congress.....controlled spending
biggest reason was the tech bubble....once that burst, everything came down in 2001, then 911 was another trillion dollar hit

Too bad I had to get in my workout in until just before tea time...

So...just so I have it right...

The modest top marginal rate tax increase...

...and controlled spending...

...those two events occurred simultaneously...and..

The budget became balanced...surpluses, in fact.

Is that what I'm hearing?

You can answer when you get back...

And be sure to yell "fore" real, real loud, if you have to...

Damage was done by Franklin Raines.....

So Franklin Raines, during the 12 years of a Republican majority House of Reprentatives - the last six of which saw a Republican Executive Branch -

Franklin Raines was more powerful and influential than all of them combined.

Is that what you're saying?
