Re: "no debt paid down". >>> Technically you are correct in that the TOTAL federal debt kept climbing... albeit at a lower rate. >>> However significant amounts of federal debt were retired early, taking advantage of lower market interest rates to refinance federal debt obligations at MAJOR long-term savings for the US taxpayer. >>> True, total debt rose in magnitude --- and I was all over the Clinton admin. for what I regarded as a major failure. >>> But this new Bush spendthrift we have 'running' things --- makes the Clinton spending and deficits look MINOR by comparison. >>> We haven't seen such fiscal mismanagement, 'spending like a drunken sailor', long-term SIGNIFICANT damage to the American economy and people, increase in the size and intrusiveness of the federal government --- since our last 'Texas President', LBJ. >>> What is it that you put in the water down there that so encourages Authoritarians and flim-flam artists? Can't any Texans balance a checkbook?
