"On the expense side, no way Gore would have continued restraining the growth in government spending."

Why do you say that? That current operating surplus was the first in my lifetime - I thought I'd NEVER see one. More than anything else, it was the signature accomplishment of the Clinton administration. Why wouldn't Gore have wanted to continue it? He'd have had an (R) congress - it's not like they'd have given him any mad money, and he'd be vetoing their pork..

Ted, > Why would he have not?

On the revenue side, the dot-com bubble burst.

On the expense side, no way Gore would have continued restraining the growth in government spending.

You forget.......the Rs controlled Congress. They would have done the opposite of what Gore wanted.
