Clinton did not look smart, he was smart. He graduated 5th in his class at Yale law school. Hillary said he would have graduated first, but he slept through classes. Hillary graduated first. Bill clinton was also a Rhodes Scholar. He was also a policy wonk and loved figuring out the best way to run a govenrment. Becasue is was so smart and eduated he surrounded himself with equally smart people. Like Kennedy did. Bush cares nothing about running government and surrounds himself with non thinkers. The first thing clinton did when he got into the office was ask his economic advisors what it would take to balance the budget. They told him he would need to RAISE tax'x. He did raise taxes and balanced the budget. Does't it ever occur to people that irresponsibly lowering tax's is the easiest way to win votes. But highly irresponsible when running huge deficits. The ONLY resaon a presidnt would raise taxes is if they need to be raised. Bush's tax cuts are for political reasons and to help his rich friends and is laying a huge debt on our grand children and risking the economic health of this country! 50% fo the tax cuts went to 1/10 of 1% of the people. Bush and the republicans have constantly lowered taxes over the last 30 years and hense the huge budget deficits. The budget deficit when Carter left office was only $50 billion. Reagan cut taxes on the rich by one hundred billion a year and raised defense spending by 100 billion (easy way to get money to his kitchen cabinet's corporations e.g. Shultz and Weinberger)) and so our budget deficit rose to 250 billion under the guise of supply side economics. Well for the 8 years Reagan was in office our deficit rose 250 billion every year and for the four years bush was in office. Those two guys raised our deficit by 3 trillion dollars in just 12 years with their irresponsible borrowing from our GRANDCHILDREN; and proved supply side economics the hoax it is. Clinton got us back in the black and bush jr got us right back deep in debt. Republicans being the fiscally conservative small governement party is the oxymoran of the century.
