Awwwright, now I'm mad, Larry... First, I voted for the Libertarian
candidate for President, not either of the two big spenders...

Please accept my sincere apology for my presumption. I have a lot of
respect for those who choose not to squander their votes on
perpetuating the corrupt incumbent fiscal system.

My sense is that the big players in the three branches of government, and
the industrial military complex, saw an impending oil crises down the road
if we did not do something to change the power structure in arabia
(specifically Saudi Arabia)... The Clinton administration understood this
but the big guy chose not to rock the boat whilst he was busily avoiding
being impeached...

Perhaps development of alternate energy sources would be a more
appropriate means of averting the inevitable oil crisis.

Next, Clinton did not hand anyone a zero deficit... Those numbers were
political cookery right from the start...

So you concede that the numbers showed what I contend.

The country was in deficit every
minute of the way, before, during, and after, the Clinton administration...
And only because of the upturn in the world economy for nearly a decade did
the amount of money the government was extorting from businesses and stock
holders statistically put us in a predicted surplus

It's difficult to see how the country was in creating a financial
deficit while surpluses were accumulating.

*** if the rate of
increase in government revenues continued for the forseeable future*** -
jeez, how gullible do you have to be?

I don't pretend to be an expert, let alone knowledgable, in these
issues.
