Curious comic, Z. One might wonder why, with a budget surplus under Clinton, the national debt didn't decrease as well.

On January 20th, 1993, the day Clinton took office, the national debt was $4,188,092,107,183.60
On January 20th, 2001, the day Clinton left office, the national debt was $5,727,776,739,304.64

A debt increase of $1.6 trillion.

Though to be fair, that is a good deal better than under G.W.:

On January 22nd (can't find data for the 21st), 2001, the day after GW took office, the national debt was $5,728,195,796,181.57
On July 31, 2008, the national debt was $9,585,479,639,200.33

Bill's debt increase of $1.6 trillion is certainly better than Bush's debt increase of $3.8 trillion, but hardly something for "Tax & Spend Liberal"s to be proud of, and certainly not what one would except when there is a budget surplus. "Tax & Spend" Liberals might be less economically retarded than "Fiscal Conservatives," but don't loose sight of the fact that they're still retarded.

Though please, feel free to check the numbers yourself: http://www.treasurydirect.gov/NP/BPDLogin?application=np
Not being an economist, perhaps I have misinterpreted the numbers.

Thank you Thought, I was trying to say something along this line, but could figure out how to find the proof I needed.

Honestly though, we need to kick Bush in the dick.

Presumably the one who is the President of the Senate and who can kill you in 10 different ways.

:roll: Though, clearly the problem lies with our 'leaders' priorities─one kinda cared about national education, the others mentioned... not so much(one of them screwed up the system almost irreparably, but that's another story for another time).

..There's worse.

"The iPhone has a 412MHz processor, 128MB of RAM, wi-fi, bluetooth, and several gigabytes of storage. It has an operating system, and runs applications written in the same programming language that one can use to write programs for any OS X desktop system. The current list of applications available for the iPhone includes wiki software, an office suite, financial management programs, and of course an e-mail client and web browser."

That means I have the right to buy an iPhone! It's specs are better than my laptops.

 :lol: Search result came up with nothing on Google maps... of course it could've been an easter egg for those who looked for it at the time.
