You made accusations that Clinton made no difficult choices and he was driven by polls.

No, that's not what I said. I said, in reference to deficit:

No, it happens by business cycles. It certainly didn't happen by any "hard choice" Clinton made..... Only thing, Clinton's fear was of the latest polls.

The point being that Clinton made no hard choices that resulted in a lessening of deficits. The point of my response was for you to figure out for yourself that tax hikes, alone, could have come nowhere close to eliminating the deficit absent an extraordinary push from the business cycle, an event which ALL OF US WHO STUDIED ECOMONICS knows "just happen".

I will give Clinton credit, however, for wisely signing into law those provisions of Gingrinch's critical "Contract With America" that led to economic gain.
