Well, lets see... the Congress and the Senate were controlled by the Democrats for the 40 YEARS before President Clinton took office... and during his term the Republicans finally took control of the Congress and for the first time in 40 years we had a balanced budget. It was called the contract with America.
They cut taxes, the economy soared, the government made more money then they ever had and everything was pretty good... Then they fracked up and started spending money on pork barrel projects just like the Democrats they had kicked out, and by the time President Bush came into office we were almost right back where we started.. So in a way you're correct, but lets lay most of the blame where it belongs,. which is squarely on the backs of the left wing Democrats. 6 years vs 40+ years of control. I think we can all see who's had the more opportunities to correct things and who's lined their pockets more.

Don't misunderstand me, both sides have done a really sh!ty job of running the nation, I completely agree with you. But at least the Republicans just did a sh!ty job... they haven't tried to destroy American and change us into a socialist state.
