Hey Libby...ever stop and consider that Bush was given a surplus by
Clinton. If Gore had been able to continue the United States would
have the problem of what to do with all the trillions of dollars
surplus Gore would have left to Obama.
What surplus was that?
We already have more than enough smoke and mirrors.

Do you remember when Clinton took $200M from Social security and later
gave
back $100M. Then went on the news and proclaimed He gave Social Security a
$100M bail out, while He made off with a $100M of their/our money.
At least Clinton was honest in the beginning, When he was asked what He
did to fix the economy by a TV reporter. His answer was "I didn't do
anything to help the economy. I just happen to come into office when the
economy was going up."

I won't hold my breath.

A question...you do know that Clinton is not President now?

Gunner is still stuck in that time warp.

I don't know where to look, but it was on radio and NBC news when it
happened. That was some time ago and I didn't have the internet back then.

Yes, I know Clinton isn't president now. I did vote for him twice as I have
said in other post in the past. He also showed me it was a huge mistake to
have done that. Remember what he said after raising taxes on everyone. He
said something to the effect "I agree that your taxes are to high, but I had
to raise them. You see if you spend your money wrong you will hurt the
economy, but if you give it to us. We will spend it right to help the
economy. That's why I had to raise your taxes." He said this on TV news
also.

I don't remember who originally said "When you find yourself on the side of
the majority, it's time to stop and take a closer look at the facts. Because
the majority can be wrong and often are." That's what my high school teacher
often said. She said a lot of things that I have found to be true over the
years.

As for Obama I am taking a wait and see stand. I didn't vote for him and
didn't like any of the runner ups. The people I wanted dropped out due to a
lack of funds and who I got to vote for was decided by the east coast. Why
can't all of the states have the primary elections on the same day. That
would give a much better idea of who the country really wanted. Not who the
states that got to vote first wanted.

What worries me is that the media is so controlled that people won't believe
the truth when they hear it, because the truth will sound so absurd to them.

I am sorry Richard but the Republican spin machine worked hard to bury
Clinton and because of this I need to see acutal proof...and while he
is no saint Americans did much better under him than under Bush.

If you do come across the quote in a respectable press release, I
would like to read it.

Clinton: "I can spend your money better than you can."
In a post-State of the Union speech in Buffalo, NY on January 20, 1999,
Bill Clinton was asked why not a tax cut if we have a surplus. Clinton's
response:
"We could give it all back to you and hope you spend it right... But ...
if you don't spend it right, here's what's going to happen. In 2013 --
that's just 14 years away -- taxes people pay on their payroll for
Social Security will no longer cover the monthly checks... I want every
parent here to look at the young people here, and ask yourself, 'Do you
really want to run the risk of squandering this surplus?' "
Source: Washington Times, January 21, 1999

"You know the one thing that's wrong with this country? Everyone gets a
chance to have their fair say."
President William Clinton addressing the people of Philadelphia, May 28,
1993 in the Courtyard, City Hall, Philadelphia, PA.

"The purpose of government is to rein in the rights of the people" --
Bill Clinton 1993 on MTV

"We can't be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary
Americans" -- Bill Clinton in 1993 from USA Today

"I believe you deserve more than 30-second ads or vague promises. That's
why I've offered a comprehensive plan to get our economy moving again.
It starts with a tax cut for the middle class and asks the rich to pay
their fair share again."
Clinton's first campaign ad, January 1992.

"I will not raise taxes on the middle class to pay for these programs.
If the money does not come in there to pay for these programs, we will
cut other government spending or we will slow down the phase-in of these
programs. I am not gonna raise taxes on the middle class to pay for
these programs." *October 19, 1992.

"From New Hampshire forward, for reasons that absolutely mystified me,
the press thought the most important issue in the race was the middle
class tax cut. I never did meet any voter who thought that."
January 14, 1993.

"You know what my plan is, to raise taxes on people whose incomes are
above $200,000..."
July 13, 1992.

The new 36 percent Clinton tax rate takes effect on couples earning more
than $140,000 and individuals making more than $115,000.
P.L. 103-66, Clinton's Tax and Spend Plan.

"I intend to have a legislative program ready on the desk of Congress on
the day after I'm inaugurated. I intend to have an explosive 100-day
action period."
June 23, 1992.

"People of the press are expecting [us] to have some 100-day program. We
never ever had one."
Dee Dee Myers, January 12, 1993.
