Yow! Now just what was the makeup of the house and Senate under Reagan? (Here's a hint: Democratic!)

If I recall correctly, the Senate was Republican controlled for at least 2 years during Reaganomics.

Also, what was the makeup of Clinton's house and senate, the very same one that (finally) passed a balanced budget program (Hint: Republican!).

But who took the fall for the Budget Battle in the mid-90s? And who honestly got the most credit for that balanced budget (deserved or not)? [/b]

Reagan's term was 8 years. Even if the Senate was Repub for 1/4 of this, my point still stands.
Also, I believe that the fall was largely assigned to congress and Clinton repeatedly takes credit for "balancing the budget" - and gets it from the media.
