“I think we ought to go back to the people and the party that was the only party and the only people to balance the budget in 40 years. I hate to break it to my Republican friends, but that is the Democratic Party. We are the ones who did it. We did it when Bill Clinton came into office. We did it after hard work. We did it after painful cuts. We did it with smart investments.” — Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), June 29, 2011
Of course, as anyone familiar with recent history knows, Boxer's comments are uttter hogwash. But don't take my word for it. The Washington Post Fact Checker says "it is a rewriting of history that borders on the absurd."
