the constant skeptic

Be skeptical about these stats reader, I think some of these numbers are definitely skewed. I don’t remember there being a 119 billion dollar surplus during Clinton’s presidency, even though he did balance the federal budget.

Also, most of the stats listed are not the result of any presidential policy personal to each president, but due to external factors, like the stats driving the stock market gains was due to the tech and internet stocks taking off.

The only stat that Bush looks really bad on is the US troop stats, and what is an even better stat is that Clinton was pushing for peace in the Middle East while the Bush’s historically have clamored for conflict. Not that that is necessarily a bad thing.
