What does Clinton have to do with what Obama is proposing? Clinton became the best deficit-cutting Republican ever to hold the office after the Republicans took control of Congress and drove the spending agenda for the last 6 of his 8 years. He declared the era of big government over, and at least cooked the books well enough that it looked for a season like we had a surplus, whereas the Messiah is calling Big Government up out of its grave like some kind of evil Lazarus, along with an army of hundreds of thousands of new orcs and zombies for whom he plans to create government jobs. Bush had the inverse--Dems have controlled Congress only 2 of his 8, and in the last two years they've run the show, we've gone from 4% unemployment to 7.5% unemployment, we've seen the colossal failure of big-government interventionism in the real estate industry (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are Dem inventions, and the laws that got them and the industry to give bad loans were Carter and Clinton concoctions, which the Dems defended every time Bush actually tried to prevent the disaster), experienced the first painful spasm of our federally mandated dependency on foreign oil, and -- yes, with Bush's blessing, a pox be upon his name -- the most enormous expansion of government ownership of the economy, well, ever. The last 2 years have been a Dem paradise---government manufactured crisis, private sector collapse and a glorious march to socialism. Woo hoo! That's been the plan ever since FDR. Did you not hear his address, in which he promised multi-TRILLION DOLLAR ANNUAL DEFICITS for "years to come"? In which he declared only government could spend enough to create a recovery--that the root of our problem was an inability or unwillingness to SPEND MONEY AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL? What planet has he been on? Anyway. There is nothing Clintonesque about his Bush-on-steroids focus on exploding the size of government, deficits be damned, other than the ex-Clinton figure heads who he put like cardboard cutouts in his cabinet. > The states where on the edge of > bankruptcy! That's why they had to dig this cigar stupidity (it would > only work in USA) to kick him out of office. Point of fact: He was not kicked out of office. There were better reasons to kick him out of office than the Lewinsky thing, however badly it reflected on his character (transfer of tech to the Chinese and stunning disregard for campaign finance laws being the main ones, IMHO). But he served out his term. Just thought you'd like to know. > > Way to go Bob!
