Nobody since Bill Clinton has been fiscally responsible. Nobody. Obama was better than Bush; he cut discretionary spending, but still widened the deficit.

I would argue Bill wasn't fiscally responsible but that Gingrich was.
The GOP argues in favor of fiscal responsibility but doesn't cut once in power. I recognize that problem with the GOP. The Dems only wish to raise taxes to confiscatory levels.
