I don't agree.
I'll give credit to BushSr on his 1990 tax increase, also Clinton's tax increase 1993.
this after a balanced budget bill 1985 (I think), passed because of Reagan's blowing the budget up,
tripling the deficit during his presidency.
military spending in communities by all means is a benefit for those communities.. but the monies there are wasted, instead of elsewhere beneficial nationwide, like education.
I'm somewhat archaic.. I believe everyone should do a 2yr stint as a service of some sorts, military or otherwise, to their country, no deferments whatsoever. Maybe something akin to the G.I. Bill help paying for their education.. a few extra tidbits, discounted mortgage rates, paid burials as our nation's last gesture of good faith as an award of good citizenship. We could better spend our monies on our people as a whole, instead of protection on a warlike footing.
in the least, people would generally be more compassionate with their experiences.
the Bush1/ Clinton budgets resulting in a no- Fed debt could have paid for everything, but it got stupidly squandered. |
