I challange anyone to cite an action of Clinton-Gore which helped the economy. The budget was balanced primarily due to the more reasonable tax structure promoted by Clinton and passed by Gore's tie breaking vote, without a single Republican vote. This economy was robust for about 10 years of the Reagan-Bush administrations This statement proves that a robust economy alone does not lead to reduced deficits. Government receipts were dropping compared to the GNP all at a time that role of government was expanding. In spite of todays normal October market action, the economy is still robust. A large stimulus in the form of a tax cut would push the trade balance and inflation figures over the edge. TP

But why didn't the robust economy of the 80s balloon government receipts? Instead the debt went from 1 trillion to 5 trillion.
