None of which can be put at the feet of President Bush.

Irrelevant.

Have you heard of the events of 9/11? Are you aware of the fact that
we have had 2394 days without a single terrorist attack? And during
that time we have had 52 months of continuous economic growth, the
longest in many decades, perhaps over a century? That security and
foundation for economic growth at a time when there is a decades-old
on-going violent assault against us, engendered by the very same
policies you wish to vote back in, does not come without a cost. That
cost should be spent down by reducing the burden of parasitic social-
welfare bureaucracy and not put further on the backs hard-working tax-
paying Americans who make everything possible.

Moreover, have you heard of the fact that Clinton brought down the
budget deficit by using up the 1991 FICA tax increases that were to be
used to fix Social Security and Medicare?



Why don't you come back some day when you can comprehend political-
economics?
