    I am of the opinion, that the party of massive deficits should take some time off, to reexamine its supply-side economic theories.

    Well, I WANT Jed Bartlett for our next president, but since he's a fictional character, it probably won't happen.

    I am pretty sure the other party was running massive surpluses when they spent eight years in office.

    Dan is very close to correct. I was balancing my budget here at home and a thought came to mind. so I took this idea and ran it past an economics professor from UCR. He confirmed my theory as correct (with faults). I don't plan on geting into political debate this has no leanning towards either party. If my rent goes up it effects my family budget in one to two months (normally). If I get a raise same thing. My monthly family budget it not impacted right away unless I win the lottery etc. Now multiply this my 300 million!! A budget can take years to impact this country (outside of certain issues that might cause impact right away which are few) the average budget action takes 3 - 9 years to impact (fully) this country. It has many stops along the way before it reaches you and I. Business, manufactering, retail, jobs etc etc. So one can assume (dangerous word) that when a current President or Congress takes credit for good times or is blamed for bad its likely the former who is to blame. Lets not forget how budgets are altered thrughout the years rather than stay in tact for entire plan time frame! This from an economics Professor after I found my own budget did not impact my family for 1 to 3 months depending on action.

    Who is my choice for President I am yet undecided but I will look at several things that I feel are important and which ever canidate I feel will strive to achieve these goals is who I will vote for providing I trust their word and I can say this I don't trust Hilary!

    You have a point. But, when has supply-side economics, ever produced massive surpluses?

    Even with eight Reagan years and four Bush (the elder) years, it didn't happen.

    What we did get was an expanding bureaucracy (i.e. behemoth government), to soak up labor because the economic policies didn't work as advertised; contrary to the limited government, official platform; of the party of massive deficits.

    Reagan created a large national debt (not as bad as Bush, but still bad) When president Clinton took office he no only eliminated the debt, but created a 5 trillion dollar SURPLUS. Now Dubya has reduced that surplus to a 7 trillion dollar deficit.

    Bush almost did to us what Herbert Hoover did in the 30's. He has spent more then any of the previous presidents, and he continues to spend. If this keeps up Japan will be the richest county in 2 years.

    I support Ron Paul because of his libertarian ideals. He is one of few to vote against the patriot act, and was one of the only republicans to vote against the Iraq war. I admit he's far from perfect, but he's the best we got right now.

    There must be something wrong with my computer, because that can't be what you wrote....
