Scumbria, you're simply stuck in the linear model thinking that "tax cuts automatically equal less revenue to the government". In the real world where a systems view is required, linear models don't work. When Reagan dramatically cut taxes, government revenue surged. The same could have been true if Gingrich had his tax cut enacted, and we may have balanced the budget in far less time. In the case of capital gains taxes, it did. Over the objections of Clinton, and most of the rest of the Democrat party. Limiting the growth of spending while growing the economy balanced the budget. And in the latter, Clinton had very little to do with it. American businesses who founded the new information economy and ran with it, grew the economy. Not a bunch of politicians sitting in Washington D.C.

Dear scum, thank you for making statements that clearly distinguish the greatness of President Reagan in fiscal matters and at the same time showing what a joke mr bill was on fiscal matters. scum says >>> Reagan supported the he Balanced Budget Amendment. This was the only way to constrain the jokes of fiscal responsibility the democrat controlled congress. scum says >>>>The budget got balanced under Clinton. The joke of mr bill spending desires could not overcome the wise budget of the congress under the outstanding leadership of Newt Gingrich. Scum I give you credit for pointing out once again the foolishness of giving any credit to mr bill for anything except his own by his own making personal firsts. First sitting President to be sued for, and end up paying a cash settlement in, a sex harassment case. First sitting President to lose his law license. First sitting President to be found to be lying to a Federal Judge. First sitting President to be fined for lying to a Federal Judge. First sitting President to blow his wad in the sink in the Oval Office. First sitting President to invent the human humidor. you all have a nice day now hear. tom watson tosiwmee
