if congress (controlled by the dems at that point) had killed the bill, it would have been done...and like ANY bill that comes before the POTUS, he could VETO it
In other words, you believe Clinton should have told the world that HW Bush was wrong on it, and that he will veto something he all but signed off on. But, I don't think we disagree on NAFTA at all, or on the issue of trade deficits. What I'm unclear on (and you didn't answer my question) is your acceptance on government's role when it comes to the economy. Would you please answer it, so I'm clear about it for future discussion?
Now, back to where the discussion should be, what is your take on the topic?

I am not sure how to answer your question
I can say that UNDER or de regulating leads to greed and thievery
and OVER regulationg leads to stiffling
I think the government should be on the safety and security side...and not the directing (the actual business aspect)
look at the flip-floppy government on monopolies/anti-monopoly....the governmet was so anti monopoly of rockeffeller's standadr oil (and sun oil, et al), or against ma bell...tey the allow monopolies (like the new baby bells getting together, or like the one today with the air lines
we do it all the time....over regulate to the point , then de regulate till the crooks come home, then over regulate again
We borrowed the money from China to pay for the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The minute President Obama walked into office Bush had left him with a $1.3 TRILLION dollar debt.
Remember now when Bush was "elected" he had a surplus from Clinton and people whine about Obama spending?
At least he ended the Iraq War which will save us money!
Psst! Presidents don't spend money or create budgets.
Do you see in your link where Congress has the power to pass laws? One of those laws is the Budget and Accounting Act and it requires the President to annually create and submit a buget to Congress. And that's what Presidents do. President Bush, being a two-term President, did it eight times.
And, of course, the budget isn't finalized (created, if you will) until the President signs it into law.
