[Just mythoughts]

You forget that the Clintons had a ‘conservative Congress’ which kept their spending in check. President Bush had a ‘war’ to fight and thus turned over to domestic compassionate liberalism to keep that military funded. In spite of the vast spread of USA liberalism under President Bush he could NOT buy the love of liberals.

[Lord_Calvinus]

I have not forgot. But, this is a fact of history: Clinton did TRY and balance a budget. This is also a fact of history: Bush hasn’t evidently given it 2 thoughts. He has given us the 6 worst years in the history of the US, 5 of the 6 individually are the single worst in history by themselves. Collectively, Bush has, what, doubled the national debt or some idiotic percentage.

And, yes, Bush may realize that you can’t buy liberal love. But, you can be assimilated by them and turned into a fiscal liberal.
