... Clinton actually balanced the budget, remember?

He did? When? When was it supposed to be balanced?

Look it up, if you can stand to face the facts.

Careful there, NOBBY, you'll get kicked out of the Clinton-Hating Whacko
Club

.... However, the deficit increased over the life of
his Presidency.


Mostly the first few years, but yes this is true. Does that give Bush &
Cheney a blank check to jump the deficit astronomically?

BTW I thought you pointed to the Clinton Administration to "prove" that
the current Republican-controlled Congress really couldn't do anything
to help the budget under Bush & Cheney? Change your mind?

Ah, at last a post from Puff Fritzy that is something other than 'me too
me too.' But it's still wrong.

The SS revenue is part of the overall Federal budget. Perhaps it
shouldn't be, since it's already spoken for, but that's a seperate debate.

And please explain how including SS revenue in the budget is like "using
a credit card."
