""Going from huge deficits to major surpluses was "incompetent"?"" These events have been long in the making before Clinton became a President. Can you name one? The old "everything is Clinton's fault (even in Bush's term) but anything GOOD that happened on Clinton's watch was not his doing" argument. Bush hasn't VETO'd ONE spending bill. And he has championed some of the grossest examples of federal spending which was nothing more than Corporate welfare than I have ever seen in my life (prescription drug bill, transportation bill). In Clinton's term, the fiscal team of Rubin, Tyson, even Cantor on trade was MUCH MUCH stronger than the Bush team of Snow , Evans (god what a loser) and Chao who were chosen for nothing more than their ass-kissing ability. Snow for example, a railroad man is totally incapable of dealing with chinese trade theft issues which are mostly IP. How many people did Bush go through before he picked Snow? And on the congressional budget front, the Clinton term included measures that forced something to be CUT for every program added. A great system of checks/balances. Bush blew that out. Face it, the republican image of fiscal conservation has been blown out of the water by these neocons.
