Yes, farmerman when Clinton was in office the government was taking in more money then it was spending and paying down the national debt. Employment rate and growth rate of the economical was in the green to say the least.
Then we had Bush who spend trillions on unneeded wars and with a republican congress lower the tax rate at the same time until the national debt exploded.
Not happy with that amount of harm they then allowed the banks and others in the finance markets to run wild to the point we almost enter up in another great depression and we are still years away from digging ourselves out of that mess.
Now instead of raising the top tax rates back to where is was so we can start to get a handle on the debt they wish to try to do so only on the backs of the middle class and working class.
To add to the fun they are holding the full faith and credit of the US as a hostage to their wishes.
