What I'd like to see along with those are the affects an opposing
CONgress had on those figures. I believe the more fiscally
conservative Rep congress had an effect on Clinton's terms, especially
in '94. Were it only true today... Rep/Dems abound, spending money
like it was going out of style.


There's no need to guess. You can look up the revenues and expenditures for
those years, as well as the national debt.

Regardless of the fact that the Republican presidents and lawmakers have
been more profligate, we'd be interested to know what spending you would
have reduced or eliminated.


Oh, just the bad stuff, Ed. Y'know, pork and friends. titter


When you look at the annual budgets (available
at the White House site), you'll find it's not so easy.


Yeah, where's the manual for how to read those damned things?
Hmm, I went to www.whitehouse.com and don't see them.

P.S: I'd defund and remove the War Against Drugs, the War Against
Terror, the DHS, the DOE, the EPA, the DEA, the BATFE, and the ED for
starters. And I'd end handouts to illegals from all countries and
really look at the aid to foreign countries. I don't see why we're
funding Israel's weapons.
That'd just about cut the budget in half.

how well the NAACP and the ED have done so far. No Child Left Behind
is ruining the rest of the kids by putting the teachers down to
worst-case-scenario teaching levels. Feh!
