Freedom ain't free broski. And that deficit is only going to keep growing with Dems and their historical large spending in office. Right now what we need is a true conservative to come in and cut spending big time and keep us safe. You think the economy is shitty now, wait until UniHealth goes live 4 years from now. It'll suck when you pocket 25% of your earnings
I seem to recall that a dem balanced the budget. I seem to recall this president NEVER vetoing any spending bill.
Get serious.
This president isn't a true conservative.
The president who balanced the budget also slashed the defense budget into a fraction of what it should have been. 5k Americans were then murdered.
Ok. He ran as a conservative. So, you are calling him a liar.
Slashed defense. LOL.
So, the defense that led us to victory is on Bush? This is just TOO EASY.
"A commander-in-chief leads the military built by those who came before him," then-vice presidential candidate Dick Cheney said during the 2000 campaign. "There is little that he or his defense secretary can do to improve the force they have to deploy. It is all the work of previous administrations. Decisions made today shape the force of tomorrow."
In fact, the Clinton administration actually spent more money on defense than the previous administration of President George H.W. Bush. The smaller outlays during the first Bush administration were developed and approved by then-Defense Secretary Cheney and then-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Colin Powell. The Clinton administration did not coast on Reagan-era procurement funding. During the 1990s, the Pentagon invested more than $1 trillion in developing and procuring new weapons and information technology that gave U.S. forces such an unprecedented advantage in the last two U.S. military campaigns. But more significant than the budget increases was the shift that occurred in the mid-1990s. That shift involved much greater emphasis on precision weapons, sensors, robotics, advanced communications, training, readiness, and orienting the intelligence community toward direct support of military operations. It was that shift that produced the superb military that not only swept through Iraq at a rate that defied historical precedent, but used its awesome force with unprecedented precision and effect, unprecedented low collateral damage, and unprecedented low casualty rates. It was the American Revolution in Military Affairs begun in the Clinton administration that was unveiled in Bush's Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Let me remind you of what BUSH CAMPAIGNED ON!!
During his presidential campaign Bush charged that the Clinton administration had overburdened the U.S. military with too many deployments overseas, and he promised to pare those military obligations. "Resources are overstretched," he said. "Frustration is up, as families are separated and strained. Morale is down. Recruitment is more difficult. And many of our best people in the military are headed for civilian life."
5k: Really, interesting that you would blame him for that when intel was clear about it months before. Had nothing to do with defense. Defense has NOTHING TO DO WITH MONITORING TERRORIST ACTIVITIES.
BTW, i'm sure you'll then exonerate Clinton for the WTC.
partial, you don't know jack shit about what really happened. If you are as you say, a college student...you were 8 years old at best when Clinton took over.
