You mean, aside from Clinton. Who actually did.
This is an interesting theory. How many of the 37 Clinton vetoes do you remember where the reason for the veto was the Congress was spending too much money on something? I remember a few where the vetoes were because of Congress making cuts in favorite programs.
You want a reality check, go back and study the 1995-1996 budget wars, and the Great Government Shutdown. Which side was pushing tax and budget cuts? Remember "balanced budgets" being declared unrealistic by Democrats in the early 90s?
"The Republican Congress also went clean overboard in spending. Increasing the size of the central government is another leftist ideal."
Sorry if the sentence wasn't easy to follow. I was making the point that Republicans have had a distinct leftist tilt in fiscal matters in recent years.
