Medicare/Medicaid was approved 307-116 and 70-24. Seems broadly bi-partisan to me. "Food Stamps - - passed by Democrats" --The welfare and food stamp program in existence since 1997 was enacted by a Republican-controlled Congress.

But if Fun had said that the surpluses came from revenue growth that "followed" the 1993 tax increase, you would not be able to contradict his statement, would you? The 1993 tax increase might not have proved that raising taxes will stimulate the economy, but it pretty well disproved the argument that tax increases only stifle the economy. Markets like when governments exercise fiscal responsibility, even if some tax increases are part of the mix.

Revenue only went up 1/3 of what Clinton predicted because taxpayers reduced their taxable income by over 8%. total federal revenue grew at a faster rate during the three years following the Bush tax cuts than it did during the three Clinton boom years of 1998-2000. In 1997 President Bill Clinton signed a tax cut bill that, among other things, created a new $500 child tax credit, raised the income limit for deductible IRAs, nearly doubled the estate tax exemption, and slashed the capital gains tax rate by a whopping 28%. The reduction in the capital gains tax was especially helpful. In 1995, just over $8 billion in venture capital was invested. By 1998, the first full year in which the lower capital gains rates were in effect, venture capital activity reached almost $28 billion, more than a three-fold increase over 1995 levels, and it doubled again in 1999.

Stories of creatures that live under the bed or in the closet and come out at night create fear in the hearts of childdren. As an adult, reality experiences should have taught the child that creatures do not live under the bed or in the closet to come out at night. It is clothing poorly hung or shoe odors that cause midnight terror. Taxes are a citizens contribution to the community and society in which he lives. Only the Republic-con Party can create childish fear of taxes in the hearts of adult children who fear the boogeyman they are told lurks in wait to steal their bank accounts. {Who knows what evil lurks in the heart of the Republic-con Party spookyman mind? The shadow knows}.

The biggest single item of "mandatory" spending is social security, which enjoys broad bi-partisan support and is funded by dedicated payroll taxes which thus far have reduced, not increased, the deficit. The next largest is Medicare, partially funded by its own dedicated payroll tax. The Part D increase was passed solely by Repubs over strong Dem opposition, with no plan to pay for it. $61 billion in 2010 is nothing to sneeze at, especially when you consider that the baby boomers are just now becoming eligible. After that you have veterans benefits, interest on the debt, and a lot of income security measures like UI, Medicaid and welfare. Republicans have begged to increase and extend those benefits during recessions when a Repub President was in office, and moan about it at other times. Not sure what your point is.
