We really did not have a budget surplus. Congress spent all the extra
money, and committed it to future spending also. The extra revenues were
from a bubble. dot.com options taxed when awarded, were the big revenue
generator, not any real job growth.

wrong. using the same accounting methods that the GOP uses today, we
had a surplus

and the largest expenditures in history were the 2 tax cuts the GOP
did in 2001 and 2003, and bush's trillion dollar war in iraq

the GOP is bankrupting us while protecting wall street
