Clinton's "boom" was related to financial markets only. His economic growth/job creation was directly related to his economic policy -- once business saw a government serious about balancing the books, they responded with record levels of investment and job creation. Bush on the other hand has created the biggest bubble in history via 1% interest rates to power economic growth over the past couple of years and still failed miserably while running up record deficits.

2. How many motherfucking times must I explain this?!?!? Read this real fucking close YOU CANNOT CUT TAXES AND INCREASE SPENDING, IT DOESN'T WORK.

Why are you talking about spending except to continue to dodge the question? I'm not talking about spending at all. I'm talking about the effect that tax cuts have had on revenues. Nothing to do with spending at all. Now tell me what part of this don't you understand? Then answer the question.

3. What are the winning lottery numbers for this month since you seem to be able to read the future.....you cannot say that what has happened in Iraq is good or bad until enough time has passed to really judge anything....and I guess the Shi'ia are pretty fucking happy there is no Saddam anymore as they were oppressed by him AND the Kurds must be happy as the man who gassed them has been brought to justice.

Sure Iraq is a bad situation but I suppose just leaving them in chaos is a great idea that won't create more resentment at all.....what's your fucking plan genius? I say rebuild Iraq because we are the reason it's broken to begin with.

We can already see the future in Iraq -- the government we've put in power are a bunch of Iranian-backed terrorist groups and we're stuck with them. The best-case scenario is that we can get the troops out without a regional war breaking out, but we'll still leave Iraq controlled by Iran and there's nothing we can do about it.

4. If you're just talking about staying in the black for a year at a time that's all fine and dandy, I am looking at the big picture....you do realize the US has a National Debt right

You just watch that for a while and tell me that any deficit numbers you quote me actually mean anything at all

The Heritage Foundation aren't "nut jobs"....I don't think you understand, they are not inherently evil.....I am glad you can keep such an open mind about all this.

And the national debt year-on-year growth came to a standstill under Clinton and actually dropped for a couple of years till Bush 43 took over after exploding under Reagan/Bush 41, but then exploded again under Bush 43. See the graph below.

Don't you feel any resentment for the people robbing you to give your money to the top-earning 1%? I thought you were mainly bothered about tax increases?
