>Are you suggesting that the Democrat Congress would have passed a balanced budget if it had been submitted? Get real. :-)

No, do not think it, did not say it, did not even come close to implying it. Where did you get that? Please, you get real :-).

But it just further points out that Reagan was a myth in many regards. His honesty (Iran-Contra), his religion (did not regularly attend church while in office), and his fiscal conservatism (budgets).

I have seen quite a bit of liberal bashing in these threads, and I am calling conservatives to the carpet < g >. You claim the high ground? Well, saying it don't make it so.

>Remember, it was the Republicans who later dragged Clinton kicking and screaming to the concept of balanced budget, which he now claims credit for!

Again, I am on the record in the UT as saying Clinton should have been impeached.

Please, anyone, tell me why whenever I poke holes in the Reagan myth, I am immediately connected with Clinton? Typical knee-jerk conservative reaction < g >.
