Time for me, too, to go to bed, Scrapps (alone. :( ); I kind of miss Carter. He was and is a southern gentleman of the first calibre. Even though I was a republican, both then and now, I always felt that the troubles in the economy and world affairs ascribed to him would not have been much different under Ford. As a people, we seem to like to believe that the POTUS can make our economy do what we want. In fact, we are at the mercy of economic forces that no one really understands, and certainly no one controls. About that House scandal involving the 17-year old page. I think the perps should have been prosecuted to the full extent of the law. I don't think errors made then (i.e. laxness) should influence us now. I now have doubts about Hyde's squeaky cleanness. On the other hand, I don't think you need to have perfection in the house committee in order to punish the guilty properly. Now I am worried that Hyde will be too easy on the POTUS, just as he was too easy in the '83 incident. But we aspire to be a nation of laws, not men. Funny how the democrats seem to hate the christians most of the time. Compare that to how they quote the bible when they are looking for foregiveness. -- Carl

More Clinton Calculus: Tax cut = Squandered Money Overtax and spend = Saving SSI. By John Godfrey THE WASHINGTON TIMES President Clinton vowed Thursday to veto an $80 billion tax-cut plan approved just hours later by the House's tax-writing committee. "I have said over and over again that if Congress sends me a bill that squanders the surplus on tax cuts before we save Social Security, I'll veto it," Mr. Clinton said in a speech to the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. The speech apparently was intended to bolster wavering support for the president's "Save Social Security First" pledge and to assure Democrats that he would not abandon it." washtimes.com The Republican response should be - Clinton would like to see rich bond holders paid off first before working families get any of their earnings back.
