Botany (1000+ posts) Thu Feb-11-10 04:07 PMOriginal message... Reagan and bush # 2 exploded the federal debt ..... Clinton left a surplus...
Another lie I am extremely tired of seeing/hearing. First, the president does not control the budget(except possibly with some veto power.)He proposes a budget but congress has control of the actual creation and spending of same.Republicans took over control during the bent ones years and started to reel in the spending. The so called surplus, was a projected surplus, based on an assumption that revenues would continue to rise through the late nineties. Along comes the burst of the .com bubble and the clinton justice department's attack on Microsoft...hello market crash. Hello end of projected revenues. Goodbye projected surplus.
Ummmm........... I supposed to be mad over a bunch of nonsense some kook like you believes is the truth? Not gonna happpen.It's times like this when I'd like to say these things to their faces. That, and the following reaction, is the only way to get true satisfaction out of slapping down a moonbat..
