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.

[Just mythoughts]

Ah, but President Bush came into office telling US he gives what the liberal asketh. He had a war to fight and so he fought but these liberals were not satisfied with the spending concession they planted hatred of said President Bush to the core of this nation.

[chuckles]

Clinton had nothing to do with the balanced budget. It was Newt Gingrich and the Contract with America that cut SPENDING.

If you go back and watch Clinton's SOTU speeches the first 2 years, he stated "Deficits as far as the eye can see". When Newt took over, remember the gubmint shutdown? He held the line on spending and FORCED the issue on Billy.
