Also, I think we are looking at this from two different sides.
1) you say that clinton didn't spend money
2) you say that the right kept gore from cutting spending.
Which one is it? Did the right cause extra spending or did they create more spending?

I said the Clinton spent less than Bush. As far as Clinton's military spending is concerned, I assume you mean that if he had spent more, 9/11 wouldn't have happened? While the Pentagon USED to have control over intelligence spending, I need you to explain to me how more bombs and tanks and missiles would have prevented 9/11.
1) I said Clinton spent less money that Bush has.
2) Gore's Initiative to Streamline Government was about cutting
waste, not spending. There's a difference
