Scumbria Re ...You can always blame social spending as the culprit, but that does not relieve the responsibility of the Chief Executive to run a balanced budget.<<< Then why are you so thrilled with Bill when he had a deficit 7 of 8 yrs? The economy was hardly in a depression in 1981, and in fact Carter had proposed a balanced budget before he was defeated.<<< There may not have been a recession in SV in 1981 but the housing industry was decimated by 13% plus interest rates. . Over 80% of our nation's debt has been accumulated since Reagan took office. This is not a coincidence.<< To be fair and unbiased, you should also mention that over 50% of our deficit was accumulated in the 90's. Funny how you seem to ignore trival facts like that.
