From 1993-2001, the federal debt went down in terms of a percentage of GDP (a favorite metric of the GOP) by 8.8%...that was the first time since Jimmy Carter.

Clinton proposed a budget that two years saw nominal surpluses. Off Budget was still a deficit but regardless of that you would be hard pressed to take two years of nominal surplus as a indicator that the democratic party balanced the budget. Especially when those budgets were passing through Republican Congresses. The Republicans controlled congress you dipshit. Clinton proposed a budget that two years saw nominal surpluses.

The Democratic spend within your means?! Is that their method then?! Please! And if you look at M3 (which the government doesn't publish anymore, I wonder why), you will see that, yes, in fact, the USA is out of money. Well, until they print more of it that is. **sigh** Wow, Mister Guy….can you really be that…..liberal? The Democratic spend within your means?! Is that their method then?! Please!

Cutting spending is fine...I doubt we would agree on what needs to be cut, but I say go where the real, big money is first. The choice between economic policies is clear I think...the GOP borrow and spend into oblivion (supply-side) or the Democratic spend within your means (if a program is worth it...it's worth having a funding source through spending cuts or tax increases). The USA is not "out of money" BTW...not by a long shot...LOL!!! What law are you talking about Roger?

I know I cannot argue with ignorance, nor debate with stupidity, but here goes! Mister Guy - what do you do when you are out of money? Spend more? Sounds like the wise business who's plan is to buy widgets at $1.05, sale them at $1.00, and make up the difference plus aprofit through the volume in sales! Faster than a speeding slug, huh?

How about cutting spending. OH yea i know you say it will never happen. Then get use to the Congress saying you must owe all your money you earn to the idiots in the Federal Gov. AS just wait about 4 years when taxes go through the roof. Be time to move out of the country then. sorry Mister Guy but i think Congress just passed a new law and signed into law today by the President which is that you now owe the Federal Gov another 25% in taxes.
