On the issue of spending during the Reagan years, you forgot he repeatedly asked for a line item veto because he knew the Democrat congress’s spending was wasteful and excessive. He wanted to veto certain wasteful pet projects contained in the spending bills. Yet they were included in the bills he received and for the greater good, he reluctantly signed them. Yes, he could have vetoed them, and probably should have. That would caused a lot of confrontations with congress. Along comes Clinton with a Republican congress who constantly pushed him for a balanced budget amendment and he fought it every step of the way. IN SPITE of Clinton’s antagonisms, spending was held in check by a Republican congress, and now Clinton takes all the credit for their balanced budgets. Clinton had NOTHING to do with the restraint in spending, yet signed the bills presented to him by the Republican congress. It’s a shame memories are so short!
Precisely!
Newt saved Clinton from hisself! And we watched the MSM destroy Newt. Then they persecuted George Bush.
And we will see another GOP POTUS lead this nation to stand silently at his crucifixion......
We suk!
