“more experienced and has major accomplishments of forcing Clinton into balancing the budget and welfare reform.”

Budget was never balanced. Debt went up every year.

Your facts are wrong...Gingrich presided over the only balanced budgets in a long time...persuading Clinton to come along, a political fete rare in occurrence.

In 1996 the budget deficit was significantly reduced from previous years. The next year, the deficit was again lowered significantly. The budgets for 1998 and 1999 spent less money than they took in, allowing a portion of the national debt to be paid off.
