actually, a lot of that stuff takes time, especially dealing with economic matters. I know bush screwed up and spent too much, but Clinton didn't create a surplus. He just benefitted from the people before him basically setting things into motion to start the surplus and it looks like he's responsible but he's not completely responsible.
I know a lot of you will take my post the wrong way.
All I am saying is stuff like this takes a while, and that you cant just look at what the budget it for a president at the end to decide whether or not he's good with the budget, you need to consider other things.
