I'm pretty sure in fact it was balanced then because I remember the White House almost getting shut down during the whole fiasco. And I said a bigger percentage of the money. Not bigger amount. |
Nope, you're wrong. I've had this exact same discussion before and I think it was with you.

OK, well, not the same discussion, but the post I made then is pretty much exactly on topic for this discussion as well.
"Actually, the Democratic congress was not replaced until 1994. This is largely because of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (AKA Deficit Reduction Act) which is credited with balancing the budget. It raised taxes and cut spending. Every single Republican in Congress (House and Senate) voted against the bill. Republicans were able, IIRC, to hammer Democrats for raising taxes and swept into control of both House and Senate in 1994."
For clarity, I meant the 1994 elections, of course. Democrats controlled the House and Senate up until January 1995.
And I don't understand how "a bigger percentage" would be different from "a bigger amount compared to other places". A bigger per capita amount would make a difference. Is this what you mean? If not, what do you mean?

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
