Part I

Time and time again anyone reading the mainstream news or reading articles on the internet will read the claim that President Clinton not only balanced the budget, but had a surplus. This is then used as an argument to further highlight the fiscal irresponsibility fot he federal government under the Bush Administration.

The claim is generally made that Clingon had a surplus of $69 billion in FY1998, $123 billion in FY1999 and $230 billing in FY2000. In that same line, Clingon cliam that the national debt had been reduced by $360 billion in the last three years, presumably FY 1998, Fy 1999, and FY 2000 - though interestingly, $360 billion is not the sum of the alleged surpluses of the three years in question.

Just checked still no article from CBS about Jimmy Carter meeting with the Chief Terrorist from Hamas,
The same group backed by Iran responsible for the
deaths of over 200 marines in 1983. Guess it doesn''t
jive with their agenda, of only printing negative
articles about conservatives.

Well said fedupwithit1. Compared to 140 billions surplus to 400 billions deficit and internal debt of 5.7 trillions to 9 trillions. Dollar at record low against all major currencies. Good going for so called conservative spending. Keep it up Prez.

mudrose I hope that the Democrats tax everyone that makes over $200,000.00 a year at 75% until the national debt is paid off.

Gore, got a Nobel Prize and world recognition and RESPECT for his work. Bush is recognized as a murderer of innocent lives; women and children..

Jimmah Carter got a Nobel. Look where he is. Kissing up to Hamas. Sadaam murdered innocent woman and children and as the Rev. Wright stated, didn''t bat an eyelash. Murderers are what they are. They kill innocent people like the ones that died on 9/11 and then they accuse Good Men of God who defend their country as murderers. You like the rest of your ilk just love to Blame America first. Well someday some raghead may just tap you on the shoulder and take your head.

There was no budget surplus. If there was a budget surplus that means that the American people were taxed way beyond what the government should have taxed them. It was our Social Security money that was moved over. Ya know those funds that the Government constantly rapes from the treasury and then says we have a Social Security crisis.

Do you go to Trinity Church? I''m beginning to believe the Rev. Wright teaches what appears to be the same type of gospel they preach in the Madrassas. Unlike them, the God of Christianity, forgives.
