    Is a lie the Republicans have been telling ever since Clinton did what

    Then a Republican got elected. The first thing he did was cut
    revenues. The next thing he did was increase spending.

    and calling the budget "balanced" with a surplus is what those two
    clowns did. It's well documented, so don't try your usual weak shit
    and ask for a cite.

    That's not how it works, fuckscum. Cite, or shut the fuck up.

    Indeed. They need to provide receipts, like this:

    Since that would make the deficit & national debt worse, you're
    knowingly hurting your own child.

    And fewer Gays competing with my sons in soccer.

    Why? Are they that much better at soccer?
