Tommyo:
You have to distinguish between a government run by Republicans and Democrats and you may have your answer right there. Republicans get into office, the town criers of "less government", and they start pulling funding and regulations from our public services. They come up with witty rhetoric like "No Child Left Behind" while completely cutting programs and federal funding. And then we go "wait, why is everything not working?"
Clinton left office with a $236 billion surplus, and we now sit with close to $450 in the red. How can we fix things now, with negative money?
My guess is funding a $555 billion war doesn't help either.
