I am all for fiscal sanity. Let's start by having a not so great society. Then move to the Flat tax, and get rid of the IRS. A lot of the SEC can go, another drag on business. Department of Education, bye bye. And so on. Of course the liberals created all this crap and it stands as testament to LBJ. Along with a lot of dead kids from the war he lost.

Yeah, because Clinton had to do all those things to balance the budget.
Classic Wahhabi Republicanism -- find a Dem president to blame. You can't blame Clinton for Bush's destruction of the nation's fisc, and blaming Carter for deficits (which Reagan tried) became difficult, even for you, once the twelve-figure Repub deficits began stacking up year after year.... so you have to look back to FDR. No doubt it's his fault -- after all, a core principle of the New Deal was to start expensive social entitlement programs without raising the money to pay for them -- right?
