Packed with humor and heart, JumpStart is a modern comic strip with a classic feel. At the core of the JumpStart family is Joe Cobb, a big-city cop, and his wife, Marcy, a nurse in a bustling Philadelphia hospital. Their jobs are easy compared to the challenge of raising four kids. At the end of the day, Joe and Marcy want what we all want: a good night's sleep. Their oldest, Sunny, is an avid reader who can answer your questions before you have time to do a Google search. Her brother, Jojo (aka Joseph Cobb, Jr.), has aspirations of being president. In fact, he already is president — of his second-grade class. Joe and Marcy's newest surprise additions are the twins, Tommi and Teddy. This talkative pair began conversing in the womb and are still going strong. Imagine what they'll say when they actually learn to speak! Rounding out the cast is Crunchy, a grouchy but warm-hearted police officer who is Joe's partner, and a host of extended family members and friends. You'll enjoy the wit and wisdom of this colorful, unpredictable cast, which includes the antics of in-laws, co-workers, a 6-year-old doctor, and a texting dog named Snoog-A-Boo.

Sounding more and more like his President. “Don’t hold me accountable. Just give me your money!”

I can suggest a solution for that problem.

Per FactCheck, the Clinton-era “surplus” was due to increases in Social Security taxes on payroll, not due to a growth-oriented fiscal policy. There is also evidence the tech bubble attributed to the perceived surplus but that comes from another source.

The bottom line is the bottom line, Clinton could have spent the extra money and didn’t.

We use to borrow from my parents but we got tired of hearing my mom complain. Then my b-i-l wife did the same and we got an ear full from her. Then we had to borrow elsewhere until paid off. We always paid the parents off. Now we do without.

Remember, everything that goes wrong is either Bush’s fault or Global Warming. Wait! Global warming was Bush’s fault, too.

And now the democrats/Obama have risen to the challenge and proven that they are the all time champions at tax and spend. Together the congress and Obama have set record deficits and debts so high that it’s possible no one will ever be able to match them again.

I would say in this case that drunken (fill in the blank) would be replaced with drunken democrats. Drunk on power, that is.

The bottom line is that Clinton never actually had extra money, he just got closer than anyone else in the recent past to balancing the budget (though I suppose you could say he did have extra money if you count intergovernmental loans).

pauldamin: The last president with a surplus was Grover Cleveland, but ballot-stuffing stopped that.

The Republicans are all in a panic to lower the debt so when “they” get back in power they can spend and look good. The dept ALWAYS goes up when Republicans rule and down when the Democrats run the show. Check out the trend over the last 50 years
