Republicans seem unable to look at what is going on and learn from
experience. At least since the Reagan era they have been the party of
"Borrow and spend" and leave it to someone else to eventually pay it back.
In the meantime, they continue to mouth tired old charges about democrats.
Working with both parties in Congress, Clinton gradually reduced the budget
deficits that 41 left for him until he left a budget surplus. This does not
mean that the National Debt was reduced, but Shrub is now recklessly
borrowing to support spending. It is part of a long term plan to cripple
the government with debt, so new programs cannot be funded. Wake up and
smell the roses.






Steven and Gail,

Not trying to be personal, but you two seem perfect examples of Liberals
marching in lockstep Groupthink with Teddy Kennedy as your drill sergeant.

Look up the Bureau of Public Debt and use it as a reference when you
want to talk about government spending.
