You Can’t Trust A Woman With Money
When Bill Clinton left office in the winter of 2000, the economy was booming, the government budget was balanced, and tight fiscal spending had given the government $230 billion surplus, making it the largest surplus in U.S. history. Just 8 years later, that surplus has been erased. Due to the high cost of the Iraq War, increased tax cuts, and a new government stimulus package, the projected deficit for 2008 is $350 billion.
When a government runs at a deficit it means that the government is spending more money than tax dollars coming in. Which in turn means that the government has to borrow money from countries like China to pay the bills. Of course this spending then leads to a weaker dollar, which in turn can lead to inflation and inflation is one of the major factors that causes higher gas prices.
Which leads me to Hilary.
As Hilary continues her march to the White House like a paraplegic trying to win the marathon, she has spent herself into a $31 million deficit. Added to which $11 million of it is her own money that she put in to keep her campaign afloat. In other words her campaign is broke.
If Hilary can’t keep her own campaign on budget, how does she expect to manage the government’s budget?
I guess the old saying is true, “You can’t trust a woman with money.”
