[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 274422, member: 2189"] Just a point of order there Big. During those "Clinton Surplus Years" you also had a republican Congress and it was this divided gov't that in all likelihood was behind the surplus. Sad we didn't realize how much this divided process did keep things a bit more honest. If Clinton did cut the military as you say, then it was with the full Congressional approval of the republicans. Besides was it not the Republican Donald Rumsfeld who also believe in advancing US military might on the cheap? Iraq was DOA until Rumy was gone and they sent more troops (spent more money) and now even Murtha has had to admit the Surge is showing success and it is. Speaking of keeping things more honest, I'd like to suggest we go back to the original intent of the organic Constitution where the leading electoral vote getter became President and the runner up became VP. Art. 2 Sec 1. replaced in 1804 with the 12th amendment. Did our founding fathers know something we don't? Talk about checks and balance. Also abolished the 17th amendment while we are at it. [/QUOTE]
