his first budget would have been before the midterm (94) elections. the contract with america include the PROMISE of a balanced budget, so I assume his first budget was not balanced (tried to google this, but the force is weak in me).
ultimately how many republicans voted with him is somewhat irrelevant. Clearly the republicans were trying to screw him at every turn, but the fact remains it was the House Republicans and the Contract with America that forced him to deal with this political reality: balance the budget.
