63. If I remember correctly, of the 12 Reagan/Bush years, they

actually submitted a balanced budget one whole time. Of course it would have been by slashing social programs, and may have been the year that Reagan pushed through taxing unemployment and increased the SS taxes. He was so great for working people...

I'll have to see if I can find anything on this, because either way (12 of 12 or 11 of 12) is horrible for such fiscal conservatives. Especially during the time that Gramm and Rudman were beating the Concord Coalition drums.
