I love how repubs want to take credit for the economic growth of the 80's because Reagan was president (even though the dems controlled congress) but also take all the credit for the balanced budget in the 90's (even though Clinton was president)
I would have to say the ultimate responsibility would lie with the President....since he does have veto power over every budget bill. "IF" a president had vetoed budget bills and then had them overridden by congress, then you could make the case that congress was responsible....but that never happened with Reagan or Bush.....the only President in recent memory to veto a budget bill was Bill Clinton.
The main difference between democrats and republicans is this.
Democrats want to raise your taxes.
Republicans want to raise your children's and grandchildren's taxes.
