1Libertarian-
Your rapt attendance to Republican governance after witnessing the last few decades blows a big-ass hole in your above the fray libertarian pretense.
Just an observation.
I believe it to be an invalid observation. Like saying the the trafic light physically stops a car...
Bush had veto power, and the debt doubled under his tenure.
Which is why I am no longer a republican.
Reagan had veto power, and the debt tripled under his tenure.
Reagan did a number of things I disliked, from not controlling the spending to legalizing criminal aliens. Still, he was WORLDS ahead of Carter.
Bush had a majority in both houses for most of his stay, and he was left with a balanced budget, etc.
Not trying to quibble, but only for a little over 1/2 of his time did the repubs control both houses. Again, why I am NO LONGER a republican. They spent our money foolishly.
Clinton had veto power, and the budget was balanced under paygo.
That was Newt, and his contract. A great congressman, an intelligent man and brilliant analyst.
Just recently, EVERY Republican Senator voted against the reinstitution of paygo.

I would guess there was a REASON... like using paygo as an excuse to rape those few people who are lucky enough to still have a job out of more taxes, instead of cutting spending. Paygo is a two-way street.
I have SOME hope that the tea party will run candidates that have some financial responsibilities. Ok, it is very little hope... but I have given up on the run-of-the-mill dem and repubs.
