The Bush Record: Record Surpluses To Record Deficits. Republicans have turned President Clinton's projected 10-year $5.6 trillion surplus into a nearly $3 trillion deficit. When this Administration took office, it inherited a projected ten-year surplus (2002-2011) of $5.6 trillion. Based on a realistic estimate of the President's policies, that surplus has now become a $3.3 trillion deficit over the same period of time, a dramatic fiscal reversal of $8.9 trillion. [House Budget Committee, 2/06]
Wow. What could have caused this?--I mean, you would almost think that America got attacked on her own land-mass with lots of civilian casualties and we had to go to war against a new kind of enemy or something. But no. That can't be.

Lets review: Those Clinton surpluses were projected surpluses.

They NEVER existed. Not once, Never. ................Now, I've got to get back to work for my American employer.

"President Clinton's projected 10-year $5.6 trillion surplus"

I had "projected" I would win the $200 million+ last year, too, so I've suffered a $200 million loss, too, in that case....

Didn't Blowjob say that we would see deficits for the "unforseeable future" when he took office?
