In December, President Obama and Congress agreed on a temporary funding measure to keep government programs running until March 4, even though the fiscal year runs through Sept. 30. Right now, the Republican-led House of Representatives is preparing its bill to pay for that March-September stretch, but if it can't come to an agreement before the clock hits midnight, the government will have to suspend operations - a shutdown. It's a game of brinkmanship between the two parties that has a precedent: the 1995 budget battles between a newly elected Republican Congress and Democratic President Clinton seeking re- election. Both parties witnessed the stakes of that fight, which resulted in Republicans taking the blame and Mr. Clinton coasting to re-election.

"I have vivid and painful memories of black churches being burned in my own state when I was a child," claimed Democratic President Bill Clinton, explaining the foundation of yet more government expansion. It was a lie.

President Ronald Reagan, a Republican icon regarded as very good in office, presided over the greatest deficit spending administration in history until that time. His large tax cuts and dramatic increase in spending sent the national debt skyward at an astonishing rate. This did not seem to upset his Republican base. After the balanced and even surplus budgets of the Democratic President Bill Clinton's administrations, Republican President George W. Bush eclipsed even Reagan to become the greatest deficit spender in history.
