If I recall correctly, the Clintons promised to fix that for you.
And more recently, John Kerry ('I have a plan...') promised to provide health care to everyone, balance the budget and not raise taxes. :rolleyes:
Yup, that's not a hollow campaign promise that is completely impossible.
Who could swallow such a claim?
Bush (Stupid) was smart enough not to make such promises.
That's why he won.
I must admit, Bush undid alot of progress that was made over the last few years.
Federal deficit that will hurt to deal with.
Environmental policies that are unforgiveable.
Corporate allegiances that are borderline criminal.
Riverman and Mike B...
cudos for thoughtful and reasoned responses.
Every president has inherited their situation from their predecessor and this one has the next four years to prove his worth.
I just could not see Kerry being the answer.
