” Clinton’s budgets, mainly due to be slapped around by conservative congress, was more conservative economically from 94-00 than Bush II has been period whose only saving grace has been tax cuts. You are right about Reagan helping jump start the economy but the late 90s boom was caused mainly by the internet/personal computer boom and a congress that wasn’t spending money like a drunk sailor. “
CONGRESS holds the purse strings.
The one who deserves credit on that is NEWT GINGRICH.
Gingrich and Lott were more conservative than Hastert and Frist. Therein lies the fall of fiscal conservatism in the GOP Congress.
Can’t argue with that.
