Dear God, the calculated ignorance of recent history. The federal deficit was eliminated under Bill Clinton, whose term ended with three years of multibillion dollat surpluses. George W. Bush promptly blew a huge hole in the federal fisc with large upper-bracket tax cuts, compounded by expensive military adventures and economic mismanagement. Obama started the process of bringing the deficit back under control, but our current Charlatan-in-Chief reversed the process with absurdly favor-the-rich tax cuts. Now he calls for cutting Social Security and Medicare, as well as medical and scientific research. Just bring tax rates back to the levels they were at under that demon-Socialist Ronald Reagan and the deficit shrinks to the point that we can drown it in the bathtub.
