"Economic downturn"? Where did that come from. Yes, the economy was less robust
in Clinton's final months, but we're discussing *government spending*. The
president is not directly responsible for boom and bust, but he OKs every
dollar spent by Congress during his watch. It *is*
reasonable to hold politicians accountable for government spending during their
terms.

I'd be curious as to see the precise details of each and every bill
that this president has signed, versus the previous president, and
compare to those vetoed and the reasons given.

Capitalism is the ultimate expression of freedom and liberty. You are
what you make of yourself. Since extreme leftists tend to demonize the
rich and successful, in order to push forth their idea of equality in
wealth.

Wake up, Dave. You're 50 years behind the times in your understanding of
liberalism.

I doubt that Chuck. I see it all the time. Every time someone shows
their bias against rich people, or those who somehow feel that the
rich should pay a disproportionately higher percentage of tax than any
one else, for no other reason than "they can afford it". All this so
that liberals can fix "the ills of society" by throwing taxpayer money
at it. That's counter to the basic principles of freedom (With
personal responsibility) and free market capitalism.

The further to the left your ideology goes, the closer to socialism
you get.
