<<Would those be the prior 40 years of Democrat controlled Congress, or the more recent 6 years of Republican controlled Congress?>> You are being a bit contradictory here. You blame Clinton for the foregn policy mess in your first post, now you say it was the congress. Well, which is it? I say foreign policy is mostly a design of the president. And the last 12 years with Reagan and Bush over meddling have given the world a bad taste about dealing with the US. The stereo-typical view of the world is Republicans are more outward looking (from the US that is) and Democrats are more inward looking. Bush and Reagan fit this stereotype. <<The overspending was under the prior Democrat controlled Congresses.>> The president signs the bill before it becomes a law, the past republican presidents could have vetoed it. The real cuprit is the Republican idealogy of 'trickle down' economics. Cut taxes, new weath is created, thereby making more jobs for the masses. Reagan crammed this down the congress' throat. And it failed. Unemployement rose under Reagan as did the deficit. I do agree, Clinton should have used the words "I'm sorry" Mo
