These are the American Military Forces cut by the Clinton/Gore Administration:
709,000 REGULAR (ACTIVE DUTY) PERSONNEL.
293,000 RESERVE TROOPS.
EIGHT STANDING ARMY DIVISIONS.
20 AIR FORCE AND NAVY AIR WINGS WITH 2,000 COMBAT AIRCRAFT.
232 STRATEGIC BOMBERS.
19 STRATEGIC BALLISTIC MISSILE SUBMARINES WITH 3,114 NUCLEAR WARHEADS ON 232 MISSILES.
500 ICBMs WITH 1,950 WARHEADS.
FOUR AIRCRAFT CARRIERS AND 121 SURFACE COMBAT SHIPS AND SUBMARINES PLUS ALL THE SUPPORT BASES, SHIPYARDS, AND LOGISTICAL ASSETS NEEDED TO SUSTAIN SUCH A NAVAL FORCE.
John Kerry Assisted:
He voted to kill the Bradley Fighting Vehicle
He voted to kill the M-1 Abrams Tank
He voted to kill every aircraft carrier laid down from 1988.
He voted to kill the Aegis anti aircraft system
He voted to Kill the F-15 Strike Eagle
He voted to Kill the Block 60 F-16
He voted to Kill the P-3 Orion upgrade
He voted to Kill the B-1
He voted to Kill the B-2
He voted to Kill the Patriot Anti Missile System
He voted to Kill the FA-18
He voted to Kill the F117
In short, he voted to kill every military appropriation for the development and deployment of every weapons systems since 1988 to include the battle armor for our troops. With Kerry as president our Army will
be made up of naked men running around with sticks and clubs.
He also voted to kill all anti terrorism activities of every agency of the U.S. Government and to cut the funding of the FBI by 60%, to cut the funding for the CIA by 80%, and cut the funding for the NSA by 80%.
But then he voted to increase OUR funding for U.N operations by 800%!!!

Your question should be what did Reagan/Bush 1 do for energy Development? One of Ronald Reagan's first acts when he was sworn in was to de-fund and end tax incentives for all the alternative energy programs started under Carter. Oil companies got their money's worth and the rape continues to this day. Now the oil industry is putting out smarmy propaganda ads (Swift-boat style) to discredit Al Gore's movie because they don't want the average American to see the truth.

The last week in office they signed all kinds of excutive orders cutting greenhouse emissions, raising drinking water standards, and raised clean air standards. Bush came in his first week and turned it all back to previous levels. Im not a Bush basher however, this has been happening for years. It just goes to show all this democrat/republican crap is a distraction. All those people really work together to get wealthier and keep others down.
But bring on the LIB/CON posts SHEEPLE!!!

Clinton/Gore did little or no in the direction of potential conservation even as that they had the prospect. That alongside with NAFTA, WTO, etc, i got here upon their administration to be truly lacking. regrettably, they nonetheless proceed to be mild-years earlier than BushCo, which makes cutting-side US politics truly depressing...
