If anyone really paid attention to Clinton’s inactivity then the current administration OVER activity to stimulate the economy post 9/11 – is it really that much of a surprise?

You cannot go on financing your future – you have to pay your bills sometime.

I, for one, don’t want ANY nation to have a firm interest in the U.S. You call that the selling of America and it has been going on far too long!

Once again, a well-intentioned big government program (probably started by Democrats) manages to corrupt both parties, and it takes a major meltdown before half-measures of reform are taken. Let’s see if it is enough.

jack, I suspect you are on to something here. Some time back, I took the family down to the Verizon Center to see the Globetrotters. This happened to coincide with an anti-war rally on the Mall.

On the subway, and in the stations we saw many carrying signs. And on those signs, the word “socialist” appeared much more often that the words “war” or “Iraq”.

I suppose calling it what is was, a socialism rally, would be too much negative publicity.

The load upon our children’s backs has just grown exponentially . For this, I curse Bush and his administration.

Don’t any in the Bush Administration have responsibility for this – at least a tiny, tiny bit? Did Clinton really start the decline?

jack – I believe you’d have trouble finding “resident socialists” in this area.

The Reps want government of peoples’ backs – except when it suits them.
