While the Bush Inc. War on Iraq heats up, the search for bin Laden grows cold, as cold as the economy. Bill Clinton knew what the hell what he was doing.  The chart below screams that fact.

Reagan, Bush 1 and Bush 2 gave tax cuts to the rich and ran high deficits with heavy military spending (mainly on hardware not humans).

Clinton spread the wealth among other departments other than the military, cut spending and re-taxed the rich. That's simple economics -- see the chart below

 

Almost three-quarters of U.S. states, led by California, face the grim task of plugging budget gaps next year, even as the sour U.S. economy digs this year's fiscal ditches ever deeper, fresh data showed on February 4, 2003. The National Conference of State Legislatures said a survey of legislative fiscal directors showed at least 36 states would have to cover a collective shortfall of some $68.5 billion as they prepare their 2004 spending plans.

President Clinton gave us a wonderful economy, tried to make peace in the world, all the while being hounded by Ken Starr, the FBI,  and 98% of the republican party. Now we have Bush 2, Texas-tough talking his way into a war with Iraq while bin Laden is glad the heat is off him -- North Korea is pronouncing the word  nuclear better than Bush --  and the media is virtually absent from any war anywhere the US may be holding on any given day.

 

Geez, and we're supposed to back this Bush Inc. War?
