The budget hasn't been balanced since 1969. In ever single year that Newt Gingrich was in Congress, the national debt increased. Every single year.
I realize that you want to relive the glory days of the Clinton Administration. But Clinton lied when he said he balanced the budget. And now Newt Gingrich is doing the same thing. He should be ashamed of himself.
This is what I mean when I say you can't compare Santorum's last loss to Newt's last victory. It was two completely different eras in Washington/politics. 2006 was a devastating year for Republicans.
