=============================================================================== Board: NEWS BB Subject: THIRTY YEARS AGO Posted: January 23,1996 00:33:11 To: ALL From: REVOLUTIONSOLUTION Fifteen years ago, yesterday, the newly elected President of the United States was sworn into office after PROMISING during the campaign to not only balance the budget but to pay off the National Debt as well. WELL, (as he liked to say,) it didn't work out that way. Practically the first thing he did was lower taxes while increasing government spending and after twelve years of him and his henchman, our National Debt ballooned EIGHT TIMES to four trillion dollars from "only" $500 billion. So much for promises, (except, of course, those to the rich.)
