Hold on now. Don't be so quick to give Clinton/Gore credit for the surplus. If not for the Republican control of both houses, the surplus would not have happened. Remember, they stopped or limited many of the proposed spending programs. Plus, if the Republican Greenspan had not kept the economy in check, one can only guess what might have happened.

Now, Gore's health care proposal scares me. Bureacratic control of drug prices will ultimately slow or limit the new drugs entering the market. If drug companies are limited by the government in recapturing their R&D costs, then the development of new cures and drugs will slow to a trickle. Plus, it will aid in the growth and interference of government in our daily lives. Bush's plan is far more realistic. It offers protection and does not kill the drug companies. Gore's plan is an increase of socialism in our government while Bush's plan places more emphasis on individual rights and responsibilities.
