Seen it, weighed it, challenged it. You can pick which statistics you choose to measure and you can even lie about the real numbers. Have you been to any of these other places. Well I have and let me tell you most of them would change their circumstances for an opportunity to be in the U.S. That alone speaks volumes. Didn't see anything about taxes did you? There are many holes in this one.

No it's not.    You forgot "raise tax rates" even though cutting them actually BOOSTED federal tax revenue.

The government has many forms of taxes. The higher prices increase government tax income. This is a cash cow for the government.

YEAH. also cut corprate taxes by 2% and drasticly increased military spending to 5.4billion over 5 years. Sounds like  americas budget

The budget takes years to develop.  It started way before Bush was President, and yes Bush did add to it but it was already in a crises when Clinton was President.  As for asking a silly question as that maybe you should have been giving Clinton the BJ since you are so infatuated with it instead with the real facts.

IR-2005-99, Sept. 9, 2005\n\nWASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service and Treasury Department announced an increase to the optional standard mileage rates for the final four months of 2005.\n\nThe rate will increase to 48.5 cents a mile for all business miles driven between Sept. 1 and Dec. 31, 2005. This is an increase of 8 cents from the 40.5 cent rate in effect for the first eight months of 2005, as set forth in Rev. Proc. 2004-64.\n\n<edit>\n\nWhile gasoline is a major factor in the mileage figure, other items enter into the calculation of mileage rates, such as the price of new vehicles and insurance.\n\nThe optional business standard mileage rate is used to compute the deductible costs of operating an automobile for business use in lieu of the extra burden of tracking actual costs. This rate is also used as a benchmark by the federal government and many businesses to reimburse their employees for mileage.

Gross Domestic Product components\nThe measure of the USA's output of goods and services is calculated by the Commerce Department using the following items: \n\nPersonal consumption \nGovernment expenditures \nPrivate investment \nInventory growth \nTrade balance \nThe GDP is calculated using a "chain-weighted" method. The system is recognizes business has been globalized, deregulation is increasing business activity and relative prices for goods change quickly and dramatically. The "chain" system also recognizes that output for computers, telecommunications equipment and health services is growing much faster than other parts of the economy. The "chain" method forces the government to recalibrate the relative prices of these goods - and their relative importance to the economy - every year.\n\nGDP can be expressed as:\n\nGDP = private consumption + government + investment + net exports \n(or simply GDP = C + G + I + NX)

This information is collected by a variety of government agencies, non-profits, consortia made up of gov, biz, and non-profits, and business entities. Here's a list of some of the best resources (and an indication of how far-ranging the sources of this information are).\n\nThe US government's stats aren't out for 2005 yet, but for years before that the best place to start is:\nhttp://stats.bls.gov/cex/home.htm\n- look under the "Economic News Releases"\n\nThe Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago does all kinds of consumer spending research and creates forecasts. One such document in late 2005 will give you an idea of what kind of info you can get on their site: \nhttp://www.chicagofed.org/news_and_conferences/conferences_and_events/files/2005_eos_swonk.pdf\n\nHere's a good page on who spends what money on what things:\nhttp://www.uwex.edu/ces/cced/lets/0902ltb.html\n\nYou can look at "Expenditures on Children by Families"\nhttp://www.usda.gov/cnpp/using2.html\n\nOther:\n1) Do a search in google/yahoo/ask.com on "consumer spending" (and DO use those quote marks)\n2) Do that same search, but put in the name of the specific "thing" after the first phrase (electronics, for instance, will get you links to ZDNet pages)\n3) Go to your local university library where they have a marketing/business program. Ask a business librarian where to get this information in the library. There are GREAT paper resources for this kind of question.\n4) Find that library online (or your local public library) and figure out if you can ask this question either by phone or by email. There are proprietary (and expensive) databases that have this information that you may be able to get access to if you have a library card.

Most of that stuff happens to every administration. The control of the borders isn't any worse than it ever was. It's just that someone is making an isssue of it, (to distract from Iraq if you ask me). But I agree about the deficit. He turned a record surplus, into a deficit, long before 9/11, so you can't blame it on that.

I really think the George Bush administration has sent America backwards 50 years. I don't have to go into all of the obvious inflation. Bush hasn't vetoed any spending legislation, or any legislation at all. It's all poor leadership.
