- Ummm... one superpower got destroyed by this policy. It's too bad we had
- to do it unilaterally. All *3* candidates admitted this was a good thing.
-
- Unless Clinton's TAX and SPEND policy is going to include budget
- balancing CUTS, all it is going to be is TAX and BORROW without the
- admission that they are running up a debt.
-
- Mind you, cutting Defense ISN'T going to balance the budget. Taxing the
- rich ISN'T going to balance the budget. TAXING the middle-class has
- always been the only way to balance the budget, and reduce the debt.
-
- It's got to come out of our pockets eventually. All we needed is a
- candidate that could blow enough sunshine up your nether passages to
- make it happen.
-
- 2/5ths of the American public said that. 2/5ths voted for status quo.
- 1/5th said there is another solution. Of course the Electoral College
- ALL voted for sunny days....
-
- Zzzz.... I'm chortling, waiting for 1996. Maybe we'll be able to
- balance the budget by the year 2000....
-
- p.s. People talk about balancing the budget and reducing the debt as
- being two SEPERATE entities. They should be viewed as a series of steps
- that NEED to be taken. One after another. And the INSTANT you stop
- having at least a balanced budget, you drive up the debt. Debt is BAD.
- Even Donald Trump realized that. (Along with a few other lessons... :)
