Tim: but that's largely Clinton being lucky enough to be in a post cold war situation that allowed for large reductions You don't get to claim this if you also suggest 9-11 is somehow Clintons responsibility? He was elected president right after a recession had ended And the timing was similar for Bush. Again you see one but not the other. The decrease in military spending was indirectly a result of Republican decisions. Oh bull again. WE now spend as much as the rst of the world combined. "Beware the military industrial complex" warned Eisnehower. Reasons that didn't have much to do with either party (such as the tech bubble), And again you see it under one president but not another. You think there wasn't a housing bubble under Bush? Yikes! Way more of a bubble with the resultant taxes on profit than any bubble in America's history. And yet look at the chart. Republicans (preventing new programs and other forms of spending increases that Clinton had originally pushed) And yet again you see it under one administration and not the other. Okay, Clinton had some divided government - what's the excuse under Bush when for 6 years he had control like no president before him.
