[quote=svelte]It was the Republicans who balanced the budget with their “Contract with America” Clinton just went along for the ride.

Uh, ya, which explains why we went back to record deficits once the Republicans ruled the white house and congress. sheesh.[/quote]

I agree that the republicans squandered a great opportunity to cut spending which is why I am disgusted with them.

It doesn’t change the fact that Newt Gingrich was the one who got the budget balanced by the way he ran the House.

Plus most of the excess money came out of the capital gains from the stock market. One time event.

Besides you are not trying to say that the democrats have balancing the budget as an objective are you?? If so where is the proof?

Allan, I was referring to our system of Government as outlined in the Constitution and Bill of Rights standing for fair and equal treatment. I was not suggesting that the tax code was intended to be fair. I wasn’t clear about that.

[quote=Rich Toscano]To everyone else — reading the forums of late has necessitated a change to the editorial policy.

Up until now, the policy has been that anything goes on the forums.

The new policy is the same as the old policy, except with this addendum: don’t abuse the policy.

This is a bit subjective but hopefully it makes sense. Repeated and needless personal attacks and (especially) starting rumors about people’s personal lives, ie behavior such as that exhibited by Marion as well as everyone’s other favorite banned poster, is obviously an abuse of the hands-off approach.

I will also call out the overly frequent posting of outrageously-titled political threads with the obvious intent to start a fight (take note, jficquette).

I think the hands off policy works well as long as it doesn’t get abused. So let’s make sure it doesn’t get abused any more. Spread the word.

Thanks,
Rich

Rich,

I am not trying to start a fight. I am sharing information that most people here never see because they get their news from the MSM.

If you will take the time to read my posts you will find that the people who disagree with me are the ones who do the name calling and use the vulgar language.
