Quote:What is interesting to me is that Keynesian's only follow his advice for increased government spending in the bad times, but never balance the budget and run surpluses to pay back the debt in the good times.
But they do. The closest the budgets have ever come in the US to being balanced were under Carter and Clinton. The "conservatives", Reagan and Bush, have been the most wastrel administrations around.

Balancing budgets is not easy work. But by and large, it's been work done by "spendthrift" Democrats, and not "conservative" Republicans. Just look at the tables you linked; the correlation is obvious.
