Just for historical accuracy I think the "behaving too much like a
Democrat" thing is pretty outdated. After all, the only balanced

Clinton in office. (Source: Appendix F of the CBO publication The
Budget and Economic Outlook: Fiscal Years 2005-2014.)
which brings to mind that saying about the rooster thinking
the sun rises because he crows...
No matter what you think of Clinton, neither of the Bush presidents,
nor Ford, nor Reagan managed that. In fact, the deficit climbed
significantly in the Reagan and first Bush terms. First time over one
trillion. two trillion, and three trillion in those years.
So, high time to adjust our view to reality.
it's high time people learned which branch of the Federal
Government is responsible for appropriation.
And time that people learned the difference between CORRELATION and
CAUSATION.
Also, it's time they learned to dig in and get economic data that explains
such things as tax revenue during boom years, the y2K run-up, that the boom
90's were mostly attributable to Bill GATES, not Bill CLINTON. That the
ground work and foundation for the 90's were laid in the Reagan 80's...
Savvy? My sweaty behind!!
