< Uh, huh, like the additional $1.2 trillion in defense spending under Reagan that was paid for with borrowed money. You're right. That truly did appear to be a gift to John Tower and the state of Texas. >
Reagan did what no one thought he could do; he bankrupted the Soviet Union. If any part of the debt was worth making, that was.
< I do know what you mean about Congress, though. You gotta watch those we-don't-have-the-money,-but-we'll-spend-anyway conservatives. LOL >
Don't forget the 'I never met a rich person i wouldn't tax' liberals.
< BTW, pat, under Clinton, $360 billion has been paid down on the debt, $233 billion last year alone. This is the first time since 1949 that the national debt has been paid down for three years in a row. >
Thats only about 6% or so of the deficit isn't it? They could pay off the debt in 5 years max if necessary, but it would mean cutting pork projects. Thats taboo in congress.
<So since it's been proven that it can happen, are you all for it now? > Meme
I'll agree right after congress votes to give themselves a substantial pay cut.
