Who's Better With Money -- Dems or Reps?
You THINK you know the answer, don't you? You've drunk that right-wing koolaid, listened to those Faux News pundits, and you just KNOW that the Dems are the ones spending this country into oblivion, right?
Well then -- feast your eyes on THIS, Bucky ...
Isn't that classic? And all based on reports anyone can grab from the Bureau of the Public Debt.
Of course, many of us have known this for years. It's just hard to be heard over the noise from the Mighty Wurlitzer of the Right. But, as they say, a picture IS worth a thousand words, and this one certainly tells the tale.
So, next time you hear someone piss and moan about Dems running up the national debt, just send them here. We'll be glad to show them the truth.

Bruce...they both suck, because they're all a bunch of career politicians.
But the Clinton debt reduction is FALSE...it's little more than a shift in debt...from publicly held debt to intergovernmental held debt.
I don't buy the bullshit from either side of the isle.

Interesting point about the Clinton debt reduction -- got any links or data? I'm a data guy, as you know, so I'd like to know if the data I've got is wrong.
Sorry it took me so long to get back to this...
Honestly I had forgotten I had commented.
Debt is debt, no m,atter who holds it, that's the shell game Clinton played.
Not entirely unlike how Reagan altered the rules on what and 'unemployed' person was.
Curiously, now we see the Reagan unemployment figure manipulation working it's magic once again...everyone KNOWS that the unemployment rate is 17%...but those either not looking, having exhausted their benefits, or or even on extended benefits...aren;'t counted by the government.
Why anyone would trust government is beyond me anymore.
