Why not, he lied about everything else.

[Newbomb Turk]

The Clintons should be made to do the perp walk !

[Devil_Anse]

Maybe I'm no visionary. Maybe I think small instead of thinking big. Maybe I'm no great risk-taker, and it's only the big risk-takers who make the really big money.

But the ONLY "economy" to whose "indicators" I ever pay attention, is my own personal financial status. (If I owned a company, I would include my company in that. If I worked for a company, I would at least try to find out its true status.)

"The economy" this, "the economy" that. The heck with it--one man's loss is another man's gain. One business may boom b/c of a trend for another type of business to fail. I say, forget the really big picture (not predictable), and watch your own wealth--if you're so concerned about not having money.

And imagine ANYONE thinking that ANYTHING that appeared good about the Clinton admin., was actually worth a crap. Puh--leeze! I was taught about a phrase in school--the phrase was "Coolidge prosperity." Seems to me that that's what they called the apparent wealth and growth of the Roaring 20's--they called it that after the bubble had burst.

Some of the '90's was a holdover from the prosperity of the 80's. Some of it no doubt had to do with new growing industries. Some of it probably had to do with the trend towards even less prosperous people buying stocks--money was being pumped into the whole game.

NOTICE that the prosperity of the EIGHTIES was called by democrats "the decade of greed." Remember that one? That's all they could come up with to attack the prosperity we enjoyed under Reagan. I remember well how their house media suddenly swamped us all with constant remarks about how "greedy" everyone had gotten during the '80's.

Then, when the prosperity (both real and fake) continued on into the '90's, suddenly they SHUT UP about "the decade of greed." Suddenly profit wasn't a bad word--because it was happening during the administration of their own "man", the Fat-Hipped Rapist. Amazing how we never heard another word about "the decade of greed."

Can't we ever get rid of this traitorous rapist? I am sickened every time I think of what he's done, and sickened more that he's never going to pay for it, or even have it acknowledged by his own party all of the damage he's done.

[M. Peach]

He not only cooked the books for the economy, but it has been demonstrated here that he's also "reassigned" criteria for other bureaus to make unemployment and crime statistics look more favorable than they really were.

[11B3]

Remember the "budget surplus" of the Sinkmeister's economy? That was touted as one of his greatest accomplishments. Well, if he 'cooked the books' at the levels stated, there never was a balanced budget much less a 'surplus'. Even when this fictional surplus existed because someone said it did, the Rats were still calling for a tax/spending INCREASE.

So here Dubya inherits this bogus bubble economy that goes to hell in a handbasket just as the Rats knew it would. The problem was, he pushed through the tax cut package (even though it wasn't full strength) and it helped slow the recession, and now is fueling a slight recovery. That's why the Rats scream so loudly and try to demonize the tax cuts - it ruins their plans politically. They need the economy to tank. If that's not criminal, it sure should be.

Did Clinton, in fact, lie ...

No, but if he did it's between him and those adults who were involved. It is none of the public's business what consenting adults do in private. Wouldn't you lie if you were confronted with the same problem? Hypocrit, bigot, fascist! F***ing scum sucking Nazi baby killer, warmongerer, sure Bush never cooked the books. Regan never lied, Bullshit! Fascist pig scumsucking Nazi, Hitler wannabe.

Egad, I was possessed by a demonrat. Someone call the Catholics quick I need to be exercised.

[TommyDale]

"Did Clinton...lie...?

Is the Pope Catholic?

[Slyfox]

Maybe the President ought to set up a cabinet-level position just dedicated to uncovering all of the Clinton crimes and bringing him and all his collaborators to justice. Either way, if Dubya doesn't do it, the Good Lord will.

[bandleader]

"Clinton Has A Pathological Inability To Distinguish Fact From Fiction".This was written by the outgoing burea-chief of The Sunday Times of London in September of 1993.After 15-years in Washington D.C.,he was being rotated back to The Uk.This was in his closing column.The British REALLY DO KNOW THE LANGUAGE!!

[harpo11]

Clinton is a natural born liar.

It was "the economy stupid" that kept his miserable naked butt with Monica in the oval office.

That was his only saving factor, and of course he would do all he could do to protect it by simply cookin' the books.

It's too darn bad though that the American people were innocents caught up in his perfidious scheme. We are indeed paying a very heavy price for the pleasure, no, the displeasure of his disgraceful 8 year occupancy in the White House.

[jedi]

As far as cooking the books is concerned, every administration for decades has done the same.

1. There have been no federal budget "surpluses;" every one spent more than came in. The difference is made up of the excess of FICA tax over benefits.

2. "Social Security" is the biggest Ponzi scheme that ever existed.

3. There are unrecorded liabilities in the trillions on FNMA and FMAC books that are not included in gov't figures.

BUMP

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Well, it isn't anything new, but it's getting a lot of attention. The simple question: Should Novak's question mark be removed now?

[SlightOfTongue]

It's time for Robert Ruben's head to roll in all this.
