Re: nuclear proliferation and Bosnia Pretty much an abysmal situation. Clinton didn't act in Bosnia until a Republican Congress came in 1995 and supported the lifting of the U.N. ban on arming the Muslims in Bosnia. Re: cutting of government spending and balanced budgets, you should look at the following links. Clinton fought the balanced budget, and as in the current budget battle, he threatens to shut down the government when he can't get his pork barrel spending programs for himself and his congressional democrats. heritage.org heritage.org Re: the economy The credit for the economy and the jobs created goes to the private businesses and the Fed, not the politicians. The politicians were the ones who were against the moves by corporations to become more efficient. Clinton is at best an absentee leader. His grand schemes at health care and child care would have been disasters along the lines of the other entitlement programs. "Men who don't learn from the past repeat the same mistakes" Clinton has a history of blaming other people for his mistakes and trying to take credit for other people's successes.

Robert, please allow me to confuse you with some facts!!! Clinton takes office 1-20-93 - Dow 3280 1993 Democrat Congress passes largest tax increase in history February 1994 Fed raises short-term interest rates for the first time in nearly five years November 1994 Republicans sweep Congress - Dow at 3800 February 23, 1995 Dow hits 4000 November 21, 1995 Dow hits 5000 October 14, 1996 Dow hits 6000 February 13, 1997 Dow hits 7000 July 16, 1997 Dow hits 8000 April 3, 1998 Dow hits 9000 What did Clinton have to do with all this? He gave us a Republican controlled Congress for the first time in 40 years and the Republicans gave us all this...lower taxes, less government!!! <<I guess you don't believe in the phrase: "Men that don't learn from the mistakes of the past, are condemned to repeat them">> Just the facts, Sir!!!

I would personally rather rely on the "unschooled" Rush than the impassioned ramblings of a college student who has not yet been cast into the harsh world of reality. I'm sure his points will be refuted one by one by the sharper minds on this thread, but I'd be interested in following up on the claimed reduction in Federal employment. Were all 200,000 of those military jobs (oops, 200,000 minus the one that was created for Monica)? If so, those positions will probably have to be more than offset in the future to play catchup for arms distributed to China, failure to follow through on inspections in Iraq, repair for damage done to the intelligence services in order to thwart potential domestic and international terrorism, etc.
