Lyndon Johnson, last time I checked - a member of the Democratic Party, must
have thought it was his job, because unless Slick slipped one in (balanced
budget, that is), HE was the very last president to even submit a balanced
budget proposal. Hasn't been one since (again, unless Slick sent one). For
eight years under Reagan and four more under Bush, we heard the continued
rail for a balanced budget, but not one time in twelve years did either
president submit anything resembling a balanced budget proposal.

I guess it's just more fun to talk the talk, huh?
