Senator Barbara Boxer has some major revisionist history concerning balanced budgets over at the
Huffington Post:
The Democrats record on balancing the budget speaks for itself. It was the Democrats in Congress, working with President Clinton in the 1990s, who balanced the budget.
As you probably remember , the first two years of the Clinton administration didn't produce a balanced budget. But, there's more here from Boxer:
So we know how to balance the budget, because we did it before. And we did it again, in 1998, 1999, and 2000.
This is interesting. Republicans controlled the
House and the
Senate during those balanced budget years. So, we can conclude either 1) Senator Boxer is having a "senior's moment" 2) Her staff wrote the puff piece for the Huffington Post and is doesn't understand that the President has to sign a budget approved by Congress. 3) The Huffington Post editors don't know basic historical facts. Are Huffington Post editors working for free?
