Also, if you think McCain will do anything other than what the R party tells him to do, I suggest you are misguided. The R party controls the money and therefore controls him.

Since when has McCain been beholden to money? Maybe 20 years ago.
The Clinton administration which produced a recession in early 2000 and the dot-com bubble, raids on private religious organizations (real fascism from the left, yet again, that gets ignored by you), the downsizing of the military, general military incompetence with failed missions in places like Somolia, a declared peace that never happened in Israel and Palestine, etc. You also forgot that Clinton swung right after the first two years because Newt and the freshman republicans held his feet to the fire and shut down the government several times and forced him into swinging further right than Bush most of the time.
On edit: If a government has a surplus, that means they are taking too much money and need to cut taxes. Ideally, a governments deficit/surplus should be zero.
