sweetbruntte, sorry to tell you this, hon, but BILLY did not give us a good economy.the facts and history teach us that a president's first term policies affec the economy in the following term.
Reagan had a hard few years in his carter designed economy, made a great one for his 2nd term and Dad Bush's term.
George Bush (1) ruined a good thing and that is what Bill Clinton received in his first term. hHe continued with poor policies and that is what GW had in his first term, and it is better now because of his first term decisions. The next president will get a pretty healthy economy and take credit for it, probably ruin it and the following administration will take the hit for it.
That is the way it has almost always gone.

Answer 1

will this get govt spending under control? It can get under control if we started to cut spending in the military, social services, transportation. Bush tax cut bought in more money its called lafferty curve its easier to pay income taxes if the rates are lower. We need to reform social security, but I think democrats are better suited for fixing social security than the republicans. What actually drives up government costs is earmarks like billion dollar bridge to Alaska that goes nowhere, and paying $500,000 in taxpayer funds for government workers to buy ipods, and game boys while working for homeland security. Its the Nickel and Dime spending that needs to be curtailed. Its a good question asked, but people will pick which programs get spending cut, and which get spending increases. In reality both parties will try to protect there pet projects at all costs.

I think spending can be controlled through spending freezes, and keep Neocons out of the meeting, and same with populist democrats that think government is solution to every social ill.

Answer 2

Not as long as the reboobs are in charge!!!!!!!!

Leogirl08...You are absolutely right, I was in the US Navy. Dems do spend like sailors. When I was out to sea, I hardly spent any money. I was on a 18 month deployment one time, I managed to save 90% of my salary and by a new car and motorcycle when I got back. Wow, I never thought I would agree with you! Sailors always pay as you go, and never borrow money from other countries.

Our economy is healthy? Man, you guys need to get off the kool-aid. I know you're going to say that the economy is healthy because the stock market is up, since when does how rich a few people are getting have to do with the overall US economy. Economics 101- a countries economic viability is determined by the GDP to Debt ratio. Our GDP is nearly equal to our Debt, and soon our Debt will surpass our GDP. That is not economically healthy!!!!!!! Besides the majority of companies listed in the stock market have large percentages of outsourced jobs, which means that US workers aren't benefiting from a strong stock market.

Answer 3

the sole way that government spending can get under "actual" administration is to first get our tax codes under administration. the sole thank you to do it is to abolish the present IRS and that's codes and circulate to a honest Tax or a countrywide revenues Tax. in case you have a undeniable volume budgeted, and the money isn't there, you do no longer spend it no count how undesirable you p.c. something. If any important firms have been to function their budgets like the Feds do, we'd have many greater agencies going abdomen up than we do now. Borrowing from you SSI funds to pay for prolonged wellness care is a lose lose. yet our government has performed basically that many circumstances. basically one occasion of a lose/ lose.

Answer 4

The government will not get spending under control until we get the stupid people to vote correctly on who will get the job done. For example, Bill Clinton did his job well. He didn't create wars, and he is the first president that had the spending completely under control as well as having a huge surplus for the next generation.
