If Clinton's tax levels where "reasonable" then so where Bush Sr's and Bush Jrs. Disagree about Bush 2. You apparently have a pretty narrow range of tax rates that you would see as reasonable. No. Clinton was fiscally disciplined, he was into it as far as a balanced budget Before the Republicans took control of congress he projected fiscal deficits to go on and on. Part of that was due to false projections (projections of this sort are often inaccurate) but he didn't really push fiscal discipline at first. In fact if some of his spending plans had passed (esp the medical care plan) he probably would have contributed more to deficits then Bush2 has. It must be hard to be a conservative and admit that Clinton was more fiscally responsible than Bush. Not at all. Bush's spending record speaks for itself. Some of the large increase would have happened whoever was elected president but Bush made not effort whatsoever to put any real limit on the increase. Congratulations on reason over dogma. That's why I lean conservative :) Tim
