It's so funny how the Clinton era surpluses are all explained away, but a slight dip in the Bush deficit is iron clad. These people are so emotionally attached. No ability to be objective.
But you see, the deficit spending "creates jobs" so it's a good thing.
After all, it was Gov't spending (WWII) that got us out of the Great Depression.
Clinton never fought the war he should have (Iraq), never prosecuted the, MCI's, Global Crossing's, Enron's, etc., never had the 9/11 hit he could have prevented (est. $1.8 trillion economic hit), never faced sustained $6-8.00 natural gas prices, sustained $40-$60 crude prices, never faced up to his buddies dot-com bubble bursting, never did shit but claim credit for the spillover Reagonomics that fell in his SCUM stained lap.
Easy to forget the war wer'e fighting, both there and here at home.
