Liberals have consistently increased spending less than conservatives over the past fifty years.\n\nAdditionally, over 90% of the national debt has been created by conservative presidents pursuing conservative policies.\n\nThe last balanced budget we had was Bill Clinton.  Before that, I believe it was Carter.\n\nTherefore, it seems clear that the term "fiscal conservative" is actually an oxymoron.  \n\nThe facts are clear:  the true representatives of Fiscal Responsibility are the liberals.

Yes Clinton did an excellent job not only with the economy but with the government's budget.  There was a government surplus meaning that more money was coming in than was being spent and it helped to reduce the huge debt built up by past presidents.  Now Bush is adding to that debt by spending more money than what comes in.\n\n*Diamond Dave - you didn't provide any facts in your answer below.  You should really quote your sources if you want to make such outlandish claims.

at first I was thinking of Jimmy Carter, now THERE is a President we can all be PROUD of.  Those that worship him DON"T remember the LOOOONNNNNGGGGG lines at the gas pump and the "misery index"  But, I know it is Clinton.  Yup, the HIGHEST tax increase by any president EVER!  But that's why the LEFT loves him sooo much!  The libbies LOVE taxpayers, that's how they get THEIR checks!

Ronald Reagan.  Because no matter how corrupt his cabinet was, people still liked him.  He also got away with kicking a lot of terrorist ***, and he helped end the cold war.

Theodore roseavelt.  JKF.  and i'm actually considering William Clinton.  I might be missing a few but like i said it was an educated guess.

It's between Lincoln and FDR because they led the country through its greatest crises and never backed down. A great president is measured through how he leads in tough times because tough times don't last, tough people do. Being a knowledgeable, strong commander in chief, and knowing how to manage spending by the government are also included. There are many debates about who is the greatest and most times your just choosing the lesser of two evils. These two are the obvious choices when you look at history. I would love to put JFK in here but the fact is he was taken from the people before he could fulfill his dream. You could argue the failures of Lincoln and Roosevelt as well but no one goes through this lifetime w/o failing. For the great ones, failure is why they succeed.
