Hillary will, of course, blame Bush, Obammy will blame bush, and the timing couldn’t be better. The blame is on Bush but every member of Congress for the past 60 years as well. The bubble is bursting. The overspending of Government is solely to blame.

Along those lines...could someone refresh my memory re: why the Clinton surplus wasn't really a surplus?

Because I know I'm going to start hearing, "Well...when Clinton was prez he had a surplus...look at what Bush did!"

Because it included the Social Security surplus. Without Social Security money, his budgets were all in deficit.
