Good you can focus. PROVE GWB's annual deficits are calculated using the same accounting methods used to reflect surpluses in the late 90s. Post 75 proves there was no surplus! It was a lie and an accounting gimmick!
are you in Palo Alto perchance?
This woman is an imbicile. The so-called "surplus" evaporated as soon as the stock markwet tanked in 2000-01. Meanwhile, despite massive deficit spending and huge tax cuts, Bush budget deficit has fallen for 5 straight months and taxes into the Treasury has spiked higher. These leftwing morons just dont understand how capitalism works.
Is she Paul Craig Roberts' girlfriend? He is another Bush hater who lies about the economy.
no, Burbank, Ca.
Sorry if I misunderstood your post.
My point is that for all the griping about federal budgets, I have yet to find anyone who can credibly tell me how the federal deficit has harmed them or their family in any way.
I suppose one could claim that interest rates are somehow affected, but with rates climbing just above 3 percent, that argument is pretty weak.
Bottom line: deficits are not the be-all or end-all of economic prosperity that many claim, and it really gets my gaul when people continue to bash President Bush ad naseum for "big gub'mnt, big gub'mnt" when I dont even know what that means, and I don't think anyone else does either.
SLATE? LOL! Why not use The Nation and New York Times for more credible sources BWWWAAAAAA! Your S.O.S!
More Americans are working now than at any other time in our nations history. 95.1% Employment is full employment, and it's been steady for the last three months (5.0%, 5.0% and 4.9% respectivly).
