Hey Beth,
The fact of that matter is that 6 months before Bill Clinton got out of office, the national debt was paid down to "ZERO" and Washington had a surplus when The "Bush-Wacker" took office. But Republicans LOVE to spend money that isn't theirs, so here we go again. We need another Clinton to lower the budget, as it seems no one else in the campaigns has even mentioned it much, except in reference to a do-goody tactic for their campaign.
The only Republican I know of who "WON'T" borrow and spend, is Ron Paul, but unfortunately the American public isn't interested in a candidate who really WILL level out Washington, as needs to be done. I'm Libertarian, but I quickly admit that Ron Paul is the only friend of the taxpayer in the current runup. I suggest this website for anyone who disagrees, and watch the videos.

Until the next one, I am,
The Benster!
