The Democratic Party does not believe more strongly in ethanol subsidies than the GOP. No one thinks they're good policy, and everyone votes for them to keep farmers happy. Surely you can find other pork that's shot up in the last few years because it tends to go to GOP districts instead of Dem ones.

True, although with the market bubble, the facade upon which these surplus projections was built should keep the Clinton/Rubin miracle in perspective.

Cite, please, for the proposition that Clinton was able to balance the budget only because of some kind of bubble. The real bubble was in the stock market, not in the federal budget. And it would look like less of a bubble if Bush had tried to enact fiscal policies to help the economy instead massive tax cuts for the rich. See Jesse Helms' quote.
