THATS NOT WHAT I'M SAYING. He gave back the money that was paid on the debt by Clinton, in a Tax Refund. You know, money already paid on the debt was given back to the tax payer, after the fact, and the debt rose back up as a cause of this action. I'm not saying whether I agree with the assessment or not, I'm just relaying what he was trying to say.There was no extra money by 2001. We were in the middle of an economic crisis due to the tech bubble bursting. Companies were failing. Tax receipts were falling. You guys are forgetting the economic dynamics which were at play come 2001 and immediately thereafter.
I’m not saying that Dubya cared a lick about the deficits. He didn’t. His sole priority was digging out of the tech bubble collapse and he care about deficit soending
