You have failed to provide appropriate evidence to demonstrate the causal relationship between Clinton being in office and the document provided in the hyperlink.

Evidence for what, again? That spending went up by 10% and tax revenue went up by 63% during Clinton years? You can't figure THAT out from the provided information?

My question when will they actually passy ANY budget?? It's been what two years now? How can one balance a budget when there's nothing to go off in the first place?

..........which contributeted to the fix we are in.................War will bring inflation ( Bush knew the drill) and deficits............maybe its unavoidable due to human nature. The Filthy Rich corporations need to bring back jobs and the Filthy Rich Politicians need to Secure the borders, put the drug dealing Bankers and others, out. We do not need more government, we are not Getting all the government we are paying for now.

I guess you don't worry about how it is balanced, only that it is balanced?

..........during war they run a deficet and after there is infaltion. Boom and bust. Plenty and shortage. Favors over and under. Same with special deals and favors. Under Washington we paid the middle eastern pirates to not attack our trade ships, Under Jefferson we organized the Marines and paid them a Visit instead. We still feel the need to visit the middle east, the far east , South America and a thousand other places.
There is no way of knowing what our government is up to, or which people are up to what. I know this , when we , as little people, buy into the idea that we know the truth and others know nothing, and we don't agree on anything that's O.K. because if we all agree then we all go over the cliff together. Human nature never changes and some will follow and some will not
