koan please explain how one man, one town, one nation, all of humanity....can spend more than he/they have earned or worked for in order to induce prosperity. If you can prove how it works with a single person then it should be easy to extrapolate. Until then, don't bother me with propaganda. Lease that to Madison Ave., Wall St.'s cousin.

koan; Clinton whne we ran huge surpluses for four years ending with a 286 billion surplus. That's just not true. Clinton barely squeeked out a surplus just one year before he left office. He ran surpluses if you don't count interest on the debt, but how silly is that? Clinton did that by cutting the military and reducing the size of government - both things I applaud - but you sure don't see any reduction in the size of government in Obama's plan. And yes, Bush spent like a crazy drunken soldier, but democrats are certainly not guiltless as you imply. Throw in the projected deficits for unfunded social programs and you have a mess every bit as bad as Bush. steve
