WWPRPD? What Would President Ross Perot Do?

Ross Perot ran for POTUS in 1992 and 1996. Although I don't remember that much about the rest of his policies,
what stays with me is that he had plenty of charts and graphs detailing how the federal budget was going to be
a big problem if the country didn't curb the spending.
Did any of the following Presidents heed his advice? Well, just look around at the chaos in DC.
I was fascinated by his attention to the deficit and wonder if he had been elected, would he have actually been
the driving force in keeping the US federal deficit to getting where it is today.
IMHO, if Perot had been elected, I think he would have made good on his deficit-cutting agenda.
Alas, it's only idle speculation at this point.
