You ONLY have to look at Cheney's interview from a few years ago when he said, "Reagan proved that deficits don't matter" to know what's been wrong with the U.S. since 1980.

When Reagan got elected the politicians STOPPED worrying about deficits but stll kept handing out bucks everywhere they could.

George Bush I said "this is crazy" and raised taxes and Limbough and all the idiots jumped all over him and he got voted out.

Because of Ross Perot (and his charts) people started paying attention to all the debt that was accumulating and Gingrich and Clinton started making some wise decisions.

Then "Bush the Moron" came in and all bets were off. Greenspan was a BIG factor in all this. He first told Clinton we need to CUT the deficits then he told "idiot Bush" don't worry about it.
