The March Federal Deficit for 2014 was the lowest in 14 years (at $37 Billion, down from $107 Billion). 2000 would be the year the Republicans inherited a budget surplus from President Bill Clinton and proceeded to drive us into a ditch we have been trying to get ourselves out of for the last 6 years. Im not sure where they get there facts but I really dont know how the Rs got the reputation of as the party of fiscal responsibility. Some Rs may defend respond by saying as the economy improves so doo revenues and that brings the deficit down and cutting government spending has had nothing to do with it. And my response to that is EXACTLY, growing the economy is much more important for our fiscal health is cutting government spending Oh and by the way, new unemployment claims hit their lowest level in a long time. businessweek/news/2014-04-10/u-dot-s-dot-posts-smallest-march-federal-budget-deficit-since-2000
