pete, you keep saying that Bush "squandered" Clinton's budget surplus, my point is that he needed to manufacture ordnance, and give pay raises to the military. You again made the claim that Bush squandered the surplus.
What was it exactly that you meant to say, if you weren't saying that replinishing ordnance, and giving pay raises to the military is "squandering the budget"?
No,I don't. First off,there WAS no budget surplus,only a projected one. Secondly,Clinton can claim ZERO credit for it,since it was forced on him by a Republican congress.
my point is that he needed to manufacture ordnance, and give pay raises to the military.
Yes,I know. And you are going to focus on that one point,and ignore all the other things because that one point shows your boy in his most favorable light.
You again made the claim that Bush squandered the surplus.
And you are saying he didn't? Or at least that he didn't blow the PROJECTED surplus right out of the water? Name ONE cutback he has made in the government,or one freeze he has intitiated. The government is now both bigger AND more expensive than it has ever been. Bubba-1 must be green with envy.

You know exactly what I was writing about because I listed some of the reasons in my post. Things like expanding the Dept of Education,pledging billions to build homes for minorities,pledging billions in aid to Africa,creating the Office of Reich Security,etc,etc,etc. NO mention of raises for the military,OR buying new ordinance and other equipment.
