The no deficit mentality. Sorry, not buying it. The governments' role is to help the economy when it's hurting, and that means deficits. You can run surpluses when things are going well, which also helps prevent the economy from overheating. He'd be doing a piss-poor job as president if the government was balanced.

Sure... but only because people are idiots. Spending helps the economy, so really there's no better time to go.
