During the Clinton years, we got higher taxes but eventually balanced budgets.

Nope - there were no balanced budgets during the Clinton years.

According to the Bureau of the Public Debt, the last year the National Debt did not increase was 1957.

The deficit dropped to "only" $20 billion one year late in the Clinton administration, but it was still a deficit.

Hanson's generally better than that.

You are correct, but from where we stand now - we can consider that well balanced. At least it appeared that balancing the budget was a goal. Gingrich Republicans forced Clinton to do something right.
