Eisenhower, the last Republican President who left office with a balanced budget. Promoted a 90% tax rate for the richest Americans. And it worked. No one can say it didn't. Not even the right wing fruit loons.
You're right. We should always have Conservative presidents who balance the budget. Hows that Hope and Changey thing working for you?
I see. So Bill Clinton is now a Conservative President? Or are you stating that Bush 1, Bush 2, and Ronnie had balanced budgets?
Just what the hell are you stating here, Code?
How's the Hopey Changey thing working? Well, it is quite satisfying to have a President who was 'concerned' about Bin Laden. And the Health Care Bill will make it much easier for me to afford medical insurance for a much younger wife as I retire. Then there is the New GI Bill that you Conservatives would not support for our military. Two major disasters in less than a month, both being handled competantly and with cooperation at all levels of government. I would say that it is working out quite well.
Conservative is as Conservative does. Clinton was helped mightily by the Republican Congress in holding down spending and he actively worked to reduce the size of Government and succeeded. Through the luck of the draw, he happened to be in office during an economic boom time, but the guy in the driver's seat gets the credit for the place the bus goes.
Is reduced spending, reduced size of government and business friendly legislation a Conservative or a Liberal party plank? If it's Liberal, somebody should get that email to the Big 0.
The Big 0 is beyond any definition of traditional Political ideologies. He has racked up 23% of the current national debt of the Republic in 0.9% of the life of the Republic. As a driver of the bus, the Big 0 is accelerating toward the cliff.
If a foreign invader had done to us what the Big 0 has done, the war would be over. We lost.
