Tell it like it is, Bill
FINALLY Clinton seems to have decided to stop brownnosing the prez… maybe he’s got a good whiff of Lame Duck cooking. Here’s some of the excerpts from this news story:
“What Americans need to understand is that … every single day of the year, our government goes into the market and borrows money from other countries to finance Iraq,
Afghanistan, Katrina, and our tax cuts,” he said.“We have never done this before. Never in the history of our republic have we ever financed a conflict, military conflict, by borrowing money from somewhere else.”
Clinton added: “We depend on Japan, China, the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, and Korea primarily to basically loan us money every day of the year to cover my tax cut and these conflicts and Katrina. I don’t think it makes any sense.”
Simple. Now if Kerry could have spoken anywhere near that plainly… well, at least he would have been less frustrating as a candidate.
