Damn right Jam! For those of you who need a little more depth in to what Jam is trying to say....
Presidents have very little to do with the economy and national debt. Yes they can have an impact but nothing like Congress.
Clinton did NEITHER.. During the Clinton admin the economy grew due to Internet and dumbasses investing in Internet buisnesses that didnt even have a buisness plan. Hence the stock market crash that occurred just before he left office.
Clinton also NEVER got rid of national debt.. matter of fact he didnt even lower the national debt. He did run a surplus on the national budget.. meaning he taxed us mored than he could spend. Far as the surplus.. anyone who has taken a economic class can tell you. A gov is suppose to be able to run a surplus during peace time, and a debt in times of war. This is typical. Now regardless of what many of you think of Bush, Bush did the opposite.. Ummm.... we just went thru the FASTEST growth quarter of the last 30yrs. Unemployment is lower than it ever was under Clinton, as well as the major countries of Europe.
Seriously .. go look at the unemployment rate of Germany or France.. then look at our.. hahaha we kicked their euro asses!
