On October 28, 1995, Bill Clinton used his weekly radio address to discuss what he termed “the great budget debate” between the administration and the GOP. Clinton accused Republicans of engaging in blackmail by tying budget negotiations to raising the debt limit. This address marked the beginning of a prolonged budget standoff between the Clinton administration and the Republican-controlled Congress, culminating in the 1995–1996 government shutdown. #BillClinton #BudgetDebate #GovernmentShutdown #MoofLife
