Default nob, here's some historical deficit info for you...

Let's face it: as far as deficits go, Clinton was the best President in
the past 25 (or more) years.


More Kool Aid?


I think the problem that conservatives had with Clinton was that he
spent more on social programs than the military or corporate welfare.


Clinton couldn't spend anything any more than any other President can, only
Congress can do that.


Of course. But who presents the budget to Congress and sets the budget
priorities and agenda? (Hint: the President)(Another hint: bushie just
presented one to Congress with (guess what?) more deficits.)

So if, as you say, the President has nothing to do with spending money,
then why have we been dealing with these huge deficits again, given
that the republicans have had the majority since 1994 and are the
allegedly fiscally responsible party?
