That is rhetoric.
I don't know how a deficit can be avoided with 2 wars going on. I know the anti Republican reply is that the war is not necessary, but most of the voting public (not those poled by the media) disagree with that. I don't care where the war is fought, just that it isn't done here again.
The surplus was in a steep decline as Clinton left office, he basically left it balanced. Factor in the stock market collapse, 9/11, 2 ongoing wars and messes like Katrina and its easy to see a deficit.
I guess the left would have preferred to tax the crap out of the rich and continue on in an economic quagmire at the same time?
