His overhaul was never passed (and rightfully so).

And this neocon movement to function as the world police isn't helping much either. Though I think the data set might be a bit deceiving, it is Congress rather than the president who sets the budget and the party in control of Congress isn't always the same as that which control the presidency. An example being the Republican controlled Congress during the early Clinton years. Sad thing is, on average, neither party actually spends within the budget when in power.
