true, but it didn't it take repub congress to finally get Bubba in line? (financially speaking that is :rastasmoke. seems to me the 80's we have a dem congress and repub white house, things hum along okay nothing real earth shaking, we switch the two and we got a balanced budget and the greatest economic boom in our lifetime. put either of the parties in charge of both branches and all hell brakes loose. :twocents: financially speaking.
