Clinton was actually making a stab at paying down debt. So much so that Greenspan was warning against the dangers...of paying down debt.

The very conservative WSJ said a few years ago (it has been that long) that the budget deficit was caused mostly by:

1. the war
2. the tax cut

The effects of 911 and the recession contributed to the problem but were not the major causes.

The Bush doctrine requires the bankrupting of the treasury (with the money going to his cronies and his family preferably but not necessarily) in order to destablize the federal government in order to privatize everything. It's an attempt to turn back the clock to the 1920s robber baron years.

If that means that families starve, children go without healthcare and seniors eat cat food, they don't care.

It's truly an evil ideology and it's been pervasive in this country for much too long especially as we claim to be 'Christian'.... yeah right.
