As to a "true" set of "balanced books", you'd have to go back to January,
1933, when FDR took office and the Democrats started to spend the country
out of "The Great Depression".

Yeah, true-blue conservatives (my father-in-law was one) really pine for the
'30s, when virtue was king and America was running on an even keel.

I think a lot of them wish we were still there. Everything that's happened
to our economy since then is, of course, a charade.
