What is so strange about the time periods he quoted. He took office in
January 1992 and left January 2000.
I'll type very slowly and see if that helps.
1. I pointed out that the national debt has increased by about 40% since Bush
took office.
2. John H rebutted that it also increased about 40% when Clinton was in office
***
Important difference: The increase under Clinton took place over an eight year
period. The increase under Bush in four.
Not an equivalent comparison.
********
At the rate the Bush debt is increasing, it could easily be *double* what it
was in 2000 if we see "four more years" of unrestrained spending by the party
that is supposed to be fiscally conservative and believes in "small
government".
