Bush=>Clinton=>Bush budgets worth repeating! The really oily thing is, into which Bush family and friends' pockets did the money go? It's disgusting. It's wayyyyyyyy past time to fight back against these corruption POSs. What Clinton did with what he got from the first Bush: '92 = -290.4 '93 = -255.1 '94 = -203.3 '95 = -164 '96 = -107.5 '97 = - 22 '98 = + 69.2 '99 = +125.6 '00 = +236.4 '01 = +127.4 What Bush did with what he got from Clinton: '02 = -157.8 '03 = -375.3 '04 = -422 '05 = -348

The below deficit figures are most telling PT They are telling but they may be a little incomplete. You might also want to include the contributions from Reagan and Bush Sr. They took the debt from less than 1T to over 4T in a mere 12 years. Three presidents, Reagan and the two Bushes, in their total of 16 years, are responsible for 5T of the 7.4T debt that has been shamelessly dumped on our kids, 67% of the total debt. (note T = TRILLION as in real money!) Two-thirds of the debt from 16 years. One-third of the debt from the other 200 years. The crazy thing is that millions of Americans who were attracted to the Republicans because they wanted frugal and fiscally responsible government will be headed to the polls to vote for these nuts.
