Flat out LIE!
We have not had a balanced budget since the late ‘50s.
Noot’s budgets were deliberate deception. they were close to 95% out of balance due to the failure to include debt service as a budget item.
A lie is a lie, and just about everything you state about Noot is a lie.
First of all, I have never lied on this forum - and rarely been mistaken - but if I am mistaken then that’s what it is: a mistake.
Having said that, it is widely understood that the US ran some surplus budgets in the 1990’s. Here is one source among many:

Speaking of flat out lies, your screen name appears to be just that. You have a childish ranting way of presenting your point, far different from any editor or surveyor I have ever known - and I have known many of the former and a handful of the latter.
If you want to debate, fine. If you want to throw little childish tantrums, go away.
