RE: an arteest

Mass amnesia, I remember quite clearly President Clinton's black ink busting
budget requests, paired down by congress. Yaa, 'Clinton was fiscally
responsible', more like afraid to use the veto pen, remember Welfare reform
he signed and the contract with America? Yea he was popular with the Dems
then. Not picking on you Jim.

You have a point, John...the economy began its decline before Bush took
office. But I think Clinton did a good job cutting government spending
and actually managed to get the Fed. budget in the black for a year or
two. Bush did inherit an economy about to enter a recession to some
degree, and 9/11 exasparated that, but I don't see him running the
military on a tight budget (why do we need those 20-30 bases we have
scattered around Europe?) or very committed to fiscal responsibility. I
think Clinton has him beat hands down on this issue.
