Is that the Congress, the White House or both? What you have said is not true. We had a surplus under Clinton because the Republican Congress kept him from spending as much as he wanted. Under Obama, with a Democratic Congress the first two years, our national debt went from 10.5 to 16 trillion dollars -- an increase of 51%. Remember the "cash for clunkers"? Remember the stimulus program which didn't really stimulate anything? > I've decided that the radial right has fully absorbed the lessons from > "1984" -- they use every expression in the OPPOSITE manner.
