Welcome to IWETHEY!

New trickle down economics, smells like P
We need to spend more on defence to rebuild supplies, is shrubs plan up to that task I havnt seen the core of it yet. The great surplus has disappeared (wouldnt matter who was in harge economy is different now) the trick will be to see how we finance it. Johnson era solution was to print money, we paid for that with inflation. It wasnt until the Clinton era where Bill ran on the republican platform of government austerity. Give both Clinton and Congress equal kudo's for getting it right.
Today we are back to spend spend both repos and dems want to spend, they just cant agree on what. Need a tightwad in charge somewhere but it will take a few election cycles.
thanx,
bill

Norman Mailer
New "Austerity" my foot!
Congress during the Clinton era guzzled and guzzled and guzzled, just as in the Reagan era, just as in the first Bush, and just like they are trying to do now.

Remember all the pre-9/11 yakking about how to spend the surplus? Pox on both their houses.
