You snipped a lot of what I wrote because you know its the truth, and
your position is unsupportable.

Here is my post again in its entirety:


When the last Democratic President took office there was what was
considered an insurmountable deficit. Wghen he left office, eight
years later, he handed over a country that had a surplus, to a
Republican President. What';s the current deficit or surplus after 8
years of Republicans? Don't worry, the Democrats will fix your massive
screw ups AGAIN. Just bear in muind that they cant fix yuoru 8 years
of hard work in the wrong direction, overnight. We may need to
maintain Democratic control for the next 30 years or so to make sure
you don't go stupid on us again.

Just think what a Democratic Administration might accomplish if it
didn't have to expend all it's time and energy correcting Republican
messes. We might be in a much better position in so many areas that
they can't even get to.

We'd probably still be the world leader in manufacturing, and be
admired and respected around the world.

Toyota would being trying to emulate Chrysler, and Michigan would be
swamped with work and not enough workers to fill all the positions.




I no longer participate in political discussions. If I did, I would
probably suggest that most financial experts
consider Clinton's "balanced budget" to be nothing more than the result of
some v e rrrrr y creative accounting.

The deficit actually increased. Spending per the budget *was* getting
under better control, but Clinton really can't take the credit, although
he still tries to this day. You can actually thank Ronald Regan and a
Republican controlled Congress, as hard as that may be for some to accept.

But, it doesn't matter because I don't get involved in political
discussions.

Good point. If the government had to account for money like businesses,
they would panic.

I got a kick out of some local debates that went on here in MA during the
election cycle.
The "official" MA operating budget, as reported by the state accounting
office was approximately $28B last year.
However, that does not include a couple of other categories that do not get
officially reported, yet funding is required for through taxes. The real MA
budget was in excess of $40B for the same time period. One of the
unreported budgets is called, (believe it or not) the "Budget for
non-budgeted items".

We are all nuts. We just keep paying. A referendum question to cut the
state sales tax in half as a means to force state government to re-evaluate
all expenditures and eliminate non-essential, pork barrel programs failed.

Speaking of Massachusetts, I had a pretty good time there Thursday and
Friday, despite the really crappy rainy weather. Stayed at a hotel right
across from the Commons, got to visit some interesting construction
sites, talk to some construction workers, and even went out to the
Franklin Park area, where my grandfather and I used to go to the zoo.

Boston's always been one of my favorite American cities.

Who gives a schitt about your favorite cities?

Do narcissistic liars need to crosspost?
