On the recordMarch 2, 1995
The Democrats did have the Congress, but the Republicans had the Senate for a while and the Republicans had the White House. So I think that we can take the blame equally. Both parties are to be blamed. But the fact is if we know it is going to happen, shame on us to let it happen again. We know we are going to get increased tax revenues because of capital gains tax, because less regulations on business will create more jobs, but it will also create more revenues. Shame on us for not holding the line on spending.
