I am doing quite nicely thanks to the President Regan and President (Sr) Bush years. Expect things will get much much better in President Bush's second term. President Bush has rescued this country and our appreciation will be to never to have another democrap sit in the oval office except at the invitation of a sitting republican president. P.S. I won't be giving you or Tiggerpaw any competition on registering dangerous sex offenders..... LOL

What the hell are you talking about? There was no budget surplus and with Bush coming into office, the revenue estimates were extremely inflated. The market had tanked before Bush came in, wiping out the estimated capital gains taxes that were counted on. Here is a summary of the national debt. show me the part where there was a balanced budget that kept the US debt from rising. publicdebt.treas.gov 09/30/2000 $5,674,178,209,886.86 09/30/1999 5,656,270,901,615.43 09/30/1998 5,526,193,008,897.62 09/30/1997 5,413,146,011,397.34 09/30/1996 5,224,810,939,135.73 09/29/1995 4,973,982,900,709.39 09/30/1994 4,692,749,910,013.32 09/30/1993 4,411,488,883,139.38 So Clinton's budgets were in the red during the biggest tax revenue years that we are likely to see for another decade. Well done.
