The Party Of Fiscal Responsibility

Andrew Sullivan (Clinton-Hater) Notes:

What if the Republican president had hewed to the projected spending levels of his Democratic predecessor - you know, that flaming liberal, Bill Clinton? If you project the Clinton administration's 2001 plans for long-term spending and you allow for all the new defense spending in Iraq and Afghanistan and elsewhere, you still end up with a surplus. The difference is Republican recklessness.
