They balanced the budget in Newt’s first year as Speaker. Clinton got the credit and Newt got blamed for it.

that year would have been 1995. the budget was not balanced that year

it did approach balance in 2000, but that was because of a combination of clinton’s tax increases and the robust economy

to show examples of serious spending control on the part of republicans, it would be good to hear about specific and significant cuts
