Bill Clinton in 1993... Probably the most significant bill of his presidency, leading to a budget surplus.
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 - Wikipedia

The people making 100k or lower should go back to the 90s tax rate.

Those Republicans are probably voting for socially conservative reasons primarily and not necessarily for fiscal/economic conservatism.
