That's one problem that shouldn't be tolerated...not being able to spend money on what you need and want. In stead of "stimulus" spending on projects that stuff money into a few pockets (money that was extracted from taxpayers) we should release the same amount of money to the people (by way of tax cuts or direct payments) and let them spend it on whatever they wish, stimulating the local economy like no stimulus money has done to date.Republicans started caring about the debt as soon as they were out of power and realized that they wouldn't get to spend on what they wanted anymore.
The Clinton "surpluses" resulted from voodoo economics and redefinitions of things like spending cuts. You know it all depends on what the definition of is is.We have been in debt for decades, but president Bush doubled our entire history's national debt in 8 years.
It looks like our debt will also double the next 10 years as well....and as toro's articles and charts and analysis SHOWS, we were put on that road to debt by President Bush's administration and congresses.
Obama is adding to the projected debt that Bush put us on the road to...
clinton administration and his congresses, put us on a road to surpluses.
simply not factual, the numbers speak for themselves....clinton with his congresses was the most fiscally responsible president in my lifetime...
Clinton's Congress was a CONSERVATIVE congress... which came ABOUT BECAUSE OF CLINTON'S POLICY INITIATIVES when Clinton and his congress were trying to take over HEALTHCARE and normalize sexual abnormality in the US MILITARY... just prior to the American People kicking the Left in Clinton's Congress to the political curb.
And it was THAT CONSERVATIVE CONGRESS that dragged Clinton KICKIN' AND SCREAMIN' to 'balancing the budget,' gutting welfare and other social spending; which resulted in the closest thing TO a balanced budget since Kennedy...
Sadly, it didn't take long before the Republican ranks were infiltrated by Leftists, OKA: Moderate, Centrist, Main-stream Progressives... and the Leftist social spending started all over again.
Here's the thing Care... Leftist Policy does not become 'right-wing policy' when it's advanced under a Republican administration.
Meaning in short that the PROBLEM is SOCIAL SPENDING and SOCIAL SPENDING IS LEFTIST POLICY; THUS THE PROBLEM IS ROOTED IN LEFTISM... PERIOD; wholly, solely... completely.
