<<<The biggest thing Clinton did was to reduce government spending. >>> The biggest thing Clinton did was that he left Bush with a balanced budget and a huge surplus. Bush gave away to the super rich a greater share of our country's wealth, wasted money on wars that we didn't have to initiate, and created the current budget debt, deficit and threatened to destroy the wealth of our children and grand children's financial well being. Why do you keep blaming the relatively few irresponsible people in the bottom 98 percentile of our population. You repeatedly pick out outliers of people who spend more money than they earn trying to cover basic necessities. We have too many unmarried mothers with multiple children wasting their food stamp allotment and spending money from government assistance and private donations on drugs and alcohol. Punishing these people is not going to make our society better. Everybody, and I mean everybody, understand that we owe too much money. Austerity is NOT the solution. I agree with Obama and 95% of the world's economists that government making wise investments is the solution.
