Why HRC is good for America during this economic crisis:

[BenDavid]

Look back a moment at the condition of this country was when WJC took office. Now think in what great shape the country was in when WJC handed it off to the incoming president.In 1992, the Federal budget deficit was $290 billion. Remember the 1993 Deficit Reduction Bill passed in the Congress without ONE SINGLE REPUBLICAN vote....Here is some of what the right was saying. "Clearly, this is a job-killer in the short-run. The impact on job creation is going to be devastating." —Rep. Dick Armey, (Republican, Texas)
"The tax increase will…lead to a recession…and will actually increase the deficit." —Rep. Newt Gingrich (Republican, Georgia)
"I will make you this bet. I am willing to risk the mortgage on it…the deficit will be up; unemployment will be up; in my judgment, inflation will be up." —Sen. Robert Packwood (Republican, Oregon)
"The deficit four years from today will be higher than it is today, not lower." —Sen. Phil Gramm (Republican, Texas) and what did that bastion of liberal reporting :sarcasm: Wall Street Journal say in 1993:A Vote for Clinton’s Economic Program Becomes
The Platform for Often-Misleading GOP Attacks.....What did this same paper say three(3) years later:Scary Deficit Forecasts For Clinton Years Fade As Tax Revenue Grows-------It Rises Faster Than Outlays, Thanks to ’93 Budget Bill And a Steady Economy.

Not only was the entire national deficit eliminated after the clinton economic plan enacted in 1993, but the economy grew so fast for the remainder of the decade that many conservative economists thought that the Fed should raise the prime interest rate in order to slow it down.

This is another of conservatives’ hidden agendas: they keep promising workers that if we cut taxes on the wealthy and the economy grows, their wages will go up. But when wages even start to go up—for whatever reason—conservatives do everything they can to slow down the economy. They never openly tell the public about the second part of their strategy when they discuss taxes, economic growth and wages.

I know I only touched upon the economy but this again seems to be the big issue for this election, and this can only be a plus for HRC. She will not present a broad plan now during these primaries but once she has the nomination and the rights candidate chosen then you will see exactly what HRC will propose and it is again THE ECONOMY, STUPID....

Whitewater was a non story the right tried to embarass the Clintons. NOTHING! Actually this could have been over in December 1995 when the firm of Pillsbury, Madison, Sutra hired by the right released its report and found that neither Clinton did anything illegal and we had to wait years later when Starr said the same thing....

Monica, I agree made me mad as hell with WJC, but the public did not want WJC impeached. The right did not hear what the public was saying about this. They had the fever and were going to impeach irregardless. Yes, it was easy for the House controlled by the right to pass the articles but then again the Senate did not charge WJC. So when a right winger says WJC was impeached be sure to tell them to tell the rest of the story, that WJC was found NOT GUILTY of all charges.

Yes, you can still be pissed with WJC for the Monica scandal, but step back for a moment and see the over-all 8 years of CLinton and as we go forward into this election, in my reality it would not be a bad idea to elect another Clinton to clean up the mess left by another Bush......

And I thank you

1. Nobody gives a fuck about Monica. I was pissed about NAFTA

and welfare reform.

As for "She will not present a broad plan now during these primaries but once she has the nomination and the rights candidate chosen then you will see exactly what HRC will propose and it is again THE ECONOMY, STUPID....", why am I reminded of a prior president saying "I have a secret plan to end the war..."?

If she has a plan, SHOW IT. I will not buy a pig in a poke.
