[quote=Anonymous]The 90s had a booming economy and a peace dividend after the breakup of the Soviet Union that permitted some drawdown of military spending, and the Boomers were making money and paying taxes and not yet on disability and retirement. The budget balanced because federal and tax revenues went way up. In 1996 when Bob Dole ran for President, Trent Lott as Senate Majority Leader was eager to cut deals with Clinton and dragged Newt along. Only about half of House Republicans were bat-shit crazy then, the rest were still dealmakers. Trent Lott talked like an ideologue but he was a pork and patronage partisan who now looks like a statesman compared to the obstructionists Republican leaders since 2010. [/quote]
