OK, first my point was you said the GOP has been in power for 12 years, so now you're in agreement that wasn't accurate?
Second, where are you getting the data that the budget surpluses in the Clinton Adminstration would have kept Social Security solvent for "hundreds of years?"
Lastly, I found on here that anytime you point to the surpluses of the Clinton years, you're just going to find that the Conservatives are going to take credit for them. In their heads, the seed that anything good that happened in the Clinton years is the result of the hard work of Newt Gingrich et el, has been planted and harvested. It's the in spite of, despite of effect. Where anything good that happened was in spite of Clinton's efforts to distroy the country. And anything bad that happens is despite of all of Bush's heroic efforts to keep the Democrats from causing such dreadful events. Cause as Ann Coulter will tell you "even Islamic terrorist don't hate America the way Liberals (Democrats) do." That's why she wrote a book called "Slander" and pointed out how liberals do nothing but say hurtful, untrue things about Conservatives. And they'll stop at nothing to destroy this country. That makes sense, right?
