It also helps to note that Congress writes the budget,not the White House. While any administration has a fair amount of influence,through his partys' Reps and Sens,he doesn't actually control the budget process.

In other words,Clinton didn't balance the budget. Congress(controlled by Reps)did...then they started acting like Democrats.

Bye Bye surpluses.
