It was, however, Newt Gingrich that forced a government shutdown over the budget that finally broke Clinton and got him to start signing the budget bills. Bill Clinton was not a fiscal conservative, his congress was. George Bush was not a fiscal conservative, and neither was his Republican congress or Ddemocratic congress of the last two years that wrote the last two years of budget and oversaw the beginning of the recession.

Bush not good for going along, but if the democrats hadn’t controlled the Repubs would’ve had the vote to stop them…not saying they would’ve….
