Also notice that the national debt went up when clinton was supposed to have turned a profit in 1999 an 2000 also notice that the national debt went up substantially during a period when military spending was reduced because it was "party time" in Washington. (anti-war folk refer to it as post cold war fiscal responsibility) also notice that the national debt went up during the 2 biggest income tax years on record... Remember when the national debt clock was turned off? More Clinton BS.

The total debt includes Social Security, government financing of mortgages, and many other government activities that are not directly part of the budget controlled by congress and the President. You can't blame the President for borrowing money that others control. Using overall debt figures merely hides what really was going on. Now the reverse is true. The administration hasn't even put the total costs of war into the budget. Instead, it asks for a supplemental appropriation. Double talk. Can't be trusted. Don't trust 'em. Art
