Yup. True. I miss the Clinton years. Ah, the Nineties, when jobs were plentiful, and deficits were reduced! What happened then?

Oh, wait, a new Admin was elected. How has that worked for us? Two wars with no tax increase on those able to pay for it?

The proles get screwed. I imagine that most everyone on this Board is a prole. I certainly am. My credit card to Governement debt is fast approaching $10,000. Thank you, Republicans!

We were forced to go to war, and then we expanded that war to take out a hostile regime that had long been a thorn in our side. A “war tax” would have collapsed support for the war, given the American desire for a free lunch.
