Let me see you bring up the only sign of fiscal responsiblity ever and it happened to be a Democratic President. Now you weirdos seem to think that because you has the majority in congress you get all the credit for that but in 2001 you elected the worst president ever who spent the surplus on his cronies. What rethuglican administration has ever been fiscally responsible as you demand of the Democrats. You are showing the lack of information on your GOP resume to back up your lies. What Rethuglican Administration has shrunk government and balanced the budget and attained a surplus? It shouldn’t take long to answer this question.

This is way over your head. We have a legislative and executive branch. **The president is not king.** I gave credit to Clinton, but you are so blinded by idealogy that you cannot understand reality. BTW I did not vote for Bush, I did vote for Clinton, as yes I am a conservative. It could not happen without the Congress that was in power at the time.

What happened??

Second: I crunched some numbers. The total outlay for senators that were in office for the whole reporting period: $4,044,609.22. That’s 48 Democrats ( with Lieberman + Sanders) and 38 Republicans. So, you’d expect that Democrats would have spent 55.81% of the money ($2,257,456.31). You’d be wrong. As a party, they spent $236,853 less than that–the Republicans overspent their expected allotment by the same measure, obviously.

As a party, 22 of 38 Republicans spent more than the median (you’d expect 19 of them to), as a party, they overshot the mean by 13%. The group of them that overshot by 10% or more? They averaged 70% over compared to the equivalentDemocrats overshooters being over by an average of 59%.

They are profligate. Period.

Ahhh…
… Gone are the days of horse and buggy where a trip back home to Texas would have been a weeks ride ONE WAY. That way, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) would never have made it home for the weekend and would have to spend it in D.C. and who knows, maybe even gotten some work done, eh?

What a whinny p!ssant.

Another reason to call for examples of fiscal responsibility on the GOP resume. Reagan ran a deficit, as did Daddy Bush, and we all know the story of Shrub. When has the GOP ever shown fiscal responsibility except as a tool to hit the democrats over the head. Rethugs are the lowest form of scumbag this country has to offer. They are liars, cheats, adulterers, haters, and terrorists.

You are calling for examples of fiscal responsibility on the GOP resume ……

A Republican majority in the house and Seante balanced the budget in the years 1998 to 2001.

Although President Clinton signed the legislation I must remind you that the responsibility for the creation of the US budget lies with the Congress. Clinton to his credit worked in a bi-partisan manner to achieve this.

A Republican majority in both bodies of Congress drafted and passed the Taxpayer Relief Act Of 1997. To their credit a large % of the Democrat minority went along with the passage, and Clinton signed.

There is your example.

You’re right about comparing population size also. So I’ll note that the top spender in California on the list is Boxer, $ 72 k. Still about 1/2 of Coryn.

Too bad we can’t drive this man from office like they drove poor Sarah with ethics charges.

Hey CornHole KMAMF

Daniel Akaka (D-Hawaii) $31,914.71
Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii)$36,142.30

A grand total of $68,057.01 (or 44.55% of Cornyn’s travel expenses) to travel more than twice the distance to Hawaii for TWO senators.

And this idiot has the nerve to call Dems fiscally irresponsible?

Hey, hookers, cocaine and booze cost alot, the guys gotta have a little fun.
