Just A Thought
I had a thought. Okay, it's not original with me - the facts and figures come from Lindsay Graham, a Republican member of Congress. But here it is. The next time a Democrat tries to tell you its President Bush's fault that the stock market is down and the surplus has become a deficit, remind him that back in January 2001 when the Democrats took over the Senate, the Dow was above 11,000 and the surplus was above $250 billion. Ever since Tom Daschle has run the Senate, the stock market has fallen and the surplus has been replaced by a yawning deficit.
