Clinton



Bill Clinton

Let me try to get this right.  And keep it simple. In the 90's when Bill got elected, his economic proposal for the country passed congress and became law, without getting a single Republican vote.  You read that right . NOT ONE!!  Two years later, at election time, Newt's clever ideas convinced enough voters, Bill's economic plan, 'was the path to destruction' and all kinds of other dire stuff.  So the Republicans took voted in to controll congress, (Sound familiar?)  Perfect spot for Newt.  Anything bad was Bill's fault while he, Newt, was responsible for all good things.

But, before the rear ends of the new Republican congressmen could warm their chairs, the results from Bill's economic proposals, began to kick in, and become visible to the entire country.  Budgets began balancing, jobs began happening, and the country began running the way Republicans always say they want it to run.  (Will we ever learn? Will they ever actually do it?)    Newt?  He never missed a beat.  They were in control of congress weren't they?
Even the top Republican priority,  the disparity (gap)  between the wealthiest and lower income group, was increasing at a very fast clip. But Newt says,  
"Republicans are responsible for all these good things that are taking place."
"What about Bill?  The polls showed the people loved what  Bill had done."  
"He's termed out." 
He was.
So we listened to the lies and elected Dick Cheney, and others.  Did we learn our lesson.  Time will tell.
