Which is why genuine economists consider Clinton to be an economic

kaff


Clinton had to be forced into welfare reform...3 times actually before
his handlers told him he had to sign.

His "handlers" had nothing to do with it. He struck a deal with Newt. What
Clinton had to do was to get the Dems in Congress to support it, which he
did.

Why do you suppose he did that? He had plenty of Dem support in Congress to
block it, if that's what he wanted to do. If he had vetoed it, it would have
died in childbirth.

Balanced budge? ROFLMAO...not
even according to the CBO

sigh I have a book here that I'm thinking of titling _What I Know About
Economics_, by Gunner. It's one of those blank-page diary books.
