4% growth in the economy is considered very good growth.
Evil empire? sounds like you have some problems completely unrelated to the subject. Democrats gut the military and start all kinds of new social programs that your grandkids will be paying for. Democrats pass all kinds of nanny laws.
The 10 round magazine law and assault weapons laws and importation laws were all anti gun rights laws and all passed with the blessing of klinton.
If bush veto's even one new gun control law he will have earned my vote over some war damaged vet pandering to the women democrats. If he even stops one socialist spending program... If I even get one tax cut....
The secret to getting yuourself out of debt is to quit starting new programs not to tax everyone more..
oh... and unless you are rich or willing to sacrafice greatly... so long as democrats are in power your children and their children will be condemed to an ever more decaying and ever more expensive public school system.

1. you brought it up yourself before I even mentioned it (which I am about to do) - there are alot more people who are not looking for a job anymore or whose benefits have run out.
2. Bush Family - from Prescott's dealings with Nazi germany to Poppy's connections with the House of Saud, the intertwining of the Bush family and some nefarious characters in recent history is well documented. Hell, the Bin Laden family was the only people flying on 9-11 - Bush* let them leave the country with an open invite and special privilege before the FBI could interrogate anyone.
2A. It was actually Poppy Bush who presided over the largest Reduction in Force in the nations post WW2 history. I should know, I happenned to be in the US Navy at the time. It was high time it happened too, given Reagans bloated military budget and goals for a 600 ship Navy.
The reality is that it was the US military that went into Afghanistan was the military that we had under Clinton. THere wasnt any time to really increase forces. Im not sure that forces were increased at all really, under Bush*. He still screwed military folks by cutting veteran benefits and health benefits, cutting combat pay and keeping people in Iraq when the reason we went there in the first place was a damn lie
3. New Social Programs. Once children as young as 4 and 5 worked in factories, for pennies a day, 6-7 days a week, right alongside their parents. Once, the vast majority of senior citizens lived in poverty during their golden years. These are but a few examples of these terrible programs you are so keen on. Look around you - all the other Western countries have far more in the way of programs. It sure is tearing them apart isnt it? Next thing you know those lousy good for nothing liberals will be trying to bring health insurance to every American!!!
4. Your problem with 10 round clips is your problem not mine. I have three "hi-cap" mags for my 9mm. I really don't care what you think about President Clinton but I think its funny that everything is still his fault.
5. You sell your vote cheap to Bush*. Selling your vote for whatever meager tax break you might be given is unpatriotic imho. You are being selfish to not consider your nation and the implications those tax cuts has for America.
6. Which brings me to my next point. You get out of debt by not giving the treasury away to rich people. These folks got huge tax cuts, and Bush* sold the cuts to Congress by arguing that they would be contained within the PROJECTED surplus. Mind you we had a 4.5 (now 7.5) TRILLION dollar deficit at the time. Paying off the national debt and not running deficits is less important than tax cuts for the rich? Not in my America.
7. Pay teachers **** and noone wants to do the work. It is false to say that "we tried throwing money at the schools" - it never happened. Pay teachers what they are worth and give the schools enough money to get the job done and you will see a vastly improved school system. Oh no, but that might mean that Lazs will have to pay more in taxes, or not get his puny tax refund.
You gotta pay to play. Right now the Bush* admin is sending our country deeper into debt. That just isnt responsible. Neither was lying about Iraq.
But I don't really expect you to think about all this too much Lazs. I know that Im not going to change your mind. Frankly I would be suprised if you were still reading this.
However, I will say that someone who dislikes women as much as you probably has no idea how to treat one.
