OT - Moving to Japan
Per Edward Dolan:
But that does not address the question: If the Clinton surplus
were due to a Republican congress' sense of fiscal responsibility
and resulting pressures on The President, why did the same party
let Bush and company run amuck? Or, perhaps, might they have been
key players?
Did not the same scenario play out with respect to the Obama health care
plan? Clinton also did not want welfare reform, but was forced into it by
Repubs. Clinton was essentially as liberal as Obama, but he was saddled with
a Repub Congress. Obama also needs a Repub Congress in order to achieve
anything. Unfortunately, he still has a Dem Senate.
But the question remains unanswered.
