How would $1.5T over a whole decade help?
I’m not subscribing in order to read the article, so I’ll just guess that the prescription for beating the deficit is to increase spending— by a large amount and right now.
America should be proud!
Bill Clinton fought tooth and nail against those changes and only gave in when Dick Morris told him it was not a winning position, then he pretended to be the leader of the changes.
We? Where did she get that we stuff?
The Republican Congress drug Clinton and the Democrats in Congress along kicking and screaming to obtain the balanced budget we had for a couple of years.
Then the Democrats brayed about how their ass had balanced the budget. Only then, they referred to it as a surplus. A surplus!
We were $5.9 trillion in debt, but they kept saying he had balanced the budget, and the Republicans had gone into the red again.
I’ve got a new rule. Democrats who blatantly lie, leave Congress for good.
Just wait until John McCain agrees with them, without challenging a word they said. That’s how that F’r kills us just about every time. He confirms their misrepresentations for them, helping to mislead the whole Democrat party’s supporters. He even suckers folks on our side.
Thanks everybody who supported him for return to Washington.
On 5.4 more years of his wonderful support for Conservatism. /s
NO! YOU CAN’T MAKE ME READ THIS! NO, NO, PLEASE, NO!
Wow. Aren’t they the reasonable ones. As opposed to those eeeevil tea party-ites.
Yeah thats right. The deficit was reduced in the 90’s. Thats not because they worked together. Its because the Republicans won the majority of both houses and pushed the Dems aside. Against the wishes of the Dems they lowered the capital gains rate, restrained spending in general and enacted welfare reform. And it helped the economy. Had it been left up to Bill and the Dems we would have had deficits as far as the eye can see. And a less vibrant economy.
We’re from the Government and we’re here to help.
The Republicans held majority control in both houses of Congress from 94-2000.
Is it possible that the writers of this piece are not aware of this?
In the late 90s we had tax cuts and less government. Let’s do it.
We need to rid the congress and senate of these Ignorant Communist once and for all..They have been making a laughing stock out of this wonderful country..God know I would never have believed this country would have been taken over by these communist bastards..but it has..now they are making our laws and rules for us..Time to pray to God for our country back
