Did you scream about the increase salaries of congress every year? Did you scream about the increase taxes in 1992? Did you scream about the pork barrelling added to bills?

Remember the war, recession, corporate wrongdoing, and the effects of 9/11 affected the deficit. And remember the surplus was in projected monies, it was not money held in escrow or in an account or in savings--it was projected monies. The economy is improving, jobs are picking up and we have not had a terrorist attack since 9/11 and we have not cowered in Iraq or AFghanistan. A few more years the effects of the tax cuts and the success in the war will be evident but if we vote for a democrat, it will be the democrat that will ride that wave of success and believe he will do a bill clinton and take credit for it.


Remember the president does not have a line item veto. The president does not have 60 votes for cloture either.

2nd paragraph-> that's a reason to vote for again for Bush..concerns about who will take credit?
