Clinton was lambasted during his tenure over the trade deficit...

... This was the fourth straight year that the nation's trade deficit, the gap between what America sells abroad and what it imports, hit a record.

Emphasis was added, but the point is obvious. Bush has done nothing to reverse any trends that Clinton didn't stop either... he's only allowed them to grow worse. OFFSHORING MUST END - NOW.

Hey freepers who rightfully bashed Clinton. You'd better be bashing Bush with as much ferocity or else you have no right to open your yaps WHATSOEVER!

1. But, but, but we're AT WAR and it's causing the trade deficit!!

You see, terrorism is bad. It's causing China to ship A LOT more stuff to Wal-Mart than ever before...

2. At war with people we happily helped ~20 years ago...

I'll never understand that. Or know the context of the period either.

3. Since 1989 (as far as I can tell on Thomas) and continuing until

shortly after 9/11, some Repuke stood up on the house/Senate floor and gave the budget deficit "boxscore" to the penny every legislative day . . .

Now that their "buddy" is running the show, you never hear a peep . . .

4. Sad that no Dems (that I currently know of) are calling the ante too.
