When Newt came into office, there was a massive deficit; when he left, a massive surplus and a balanced budget....Newt was the only reason we ever had a balanced budget and spending restraints.

Newt didn't control spending during the Clinton's term in office. It increased every year. Instead, tax revenue increased more each year. Want to give Newt the credit for Clinton's tax increase?

So you actually credit tax increases for the balanced budget? That’s a very different take than any Conservative economist I’ve read.

Keynes much?
