You Can’t Trust A Woman With Money

When Bill Clintonleft office in the winter of 2000, the economy was booming, the governmentbudget was balanced, and tight fiscal spending had given the government $230billion surplus, making it the largest surplus in U.S. history. Just 8 yearslater, that surplus has been erased. Due to the high cost of the Iraq War,increased tax cuts, and a new government stimulus package, the country is nowoperating at a $350 billion deficit. 

When a governmentruns at a deficit it means that the government is spending more money than taxdollars coming in. Which in turn means that the government has to borrow moneyfrom countries like China to pay the bills. Of course this spending then leadsto a weaker dollar, which in turn can lead to inflation, and inflation is whatcauses higher gas prices.

Which leads me toHilary Clinton. 

As Hilarycontinues her march to the White House like a paraplegic trying to win themarathon, she has spent herself into a $31 million deficit. Added to which $11 million of it is her own moneythat she put in to keep her campaign afloat. In other words, her campaign is broke.

If Hillary can’teven keep her own campaign on budget, how does she expect to manage thegovernment’s budget?  

I guess the oldsaying is true, “you can’t trust a woman with money.”
