Bill Clintons Speech on What Will Happen if America ignores the Deficit….Go Ahead John…use it.

Nobody Remembers—

Want to see something interesting? Here are excerpts from The State of the Union address of then President, Bill Clinton, given on February 17, 1993. I’ve taken some very interesting lines from it, just to show you..some surprising statements, and some not so surprising goals. In some places, you can close your eyes and hear Obama. I hope you have as much fun reading this as I did.

By the way, Clinton ran on economic improvement. How far…we have come. (not)

CLINTON: The conditions which brought us to this point are well known. Two decades of low productivity and stagnant wages: Persistent unemployment and under employment: years of huge government deficits and declining investment in our future: exploding health care coast, and lack of coverage: legions of poor children educational and job training opportunities inadequate to the demands of a high wage, high growth economy.

(So now—- we’re up to 8 decades, and it’s all getting worse.)

I well remember, 12 years ago Ronald Reagan stood at this podium and told the American people that if our debt were stacked in dollar bills, the stack would reach 67 miles into space. Today that stack would reach 267 miles.

(Now it will go to the moon and back about three times.)

The time for blame has come to an end. I came here to accept responsibility: I want you to accept responsibility  for the future of this country.

( I love democrats, I’ll except it. No wait….YOU accept it. )

Our plan has four components: First: reverses our economic decline. Second: changes the rhetoric of the past: Third: It substantially reduces the Federal deficit. And finally, it earns the trusts of the American people by paying for these plans with cuts in Government spending—and by fairness for a change, in the way the burden is borne.

(As we have  seen, government spending never stops. What happened there Bill? )

I call on Congress to enact an immediate jobs package of over $30 billion. We will put people to work right now and create half a million  jobs, jobs that will rebuild our highways and airports, renovate housing, bring new life to our rural town and spread hope and opportunity to among our nations’ youth..

(yada, yada, yada…Whoever wrote this speech was STILL alive to write Obama’s. And now the job packages are called stimulus packages…and it’s in the trillions.)

In order to accomplish public investment and deficit reduction Government spending is being cut and taxes are being increased.

(What did Clinton cut? Monica’s thong? )

Our plan invests in our roads, bridges, transit facilities, in high- speed railways and high tech information systems; and in the most ambitious environmental clean- up of our time.

(And his name was Al. —-What is it with these liberals? It’s like they get Daddy’s credit card and want to go to Neiman’s and just buy the whole damn department store…..)

But all of our efforts to strengthen the economy will fail unless we take bold steps to reform our heath care system. American’s businesses will never be strong, American’s families will never be secure: and America’s government will never be solvent until we tackle our health care crisis.

(Right. Obamacare is going to make America solvent. And that is why, Obama will never give in. Look how long the elites have wanted this. I say elites, because RINO’s are in on this.)

He goes on to talk about NAFTA (which he passed and destroyed us further: Head Start, which is the state getting your baby early while the single mother is working, and a National Service program. I guess that’s next on Obama’s list.)

But to revolutionize government we have to insure that it lives within its means.

(Can you believe he said this?)

And that starts at the top with the White House staff by twenty five percent, saving ten million dollars. It’s time for our government to be as frugal as any household in America.

(This one kills me. Of course, these guys want to clear people out of the White House so that they can walk around it more freely and treat it as their own personal mansion. Obama has finally done that. The money they save, is made up by all the world trips both the Clintons and the Obama’s have made on Air Force One. They are Kings, but want you to think that they are suffering….the less people at the White House, the more they can invite their friends over to party. By the way…where IS Buddy Love?)

But we can go further. Tonight I call for an across the board freeze in federal government salaries for one year.

(Wow…then the next day after the year is up, they get a raise. Can you believe this spin?)

We are cutting the deficit so that your family can afford a college education for your children. We are cutting the deficit so that someday your children will be able to afford a home of their own.

(Oh…we’re really &$^$ now.)

I ask you to raise federal income taxes from 31 percent to 36 percent. For businesses with taxable income over ten million dollars we will raise the corporate tax rate to 36 percent.

(By the way, it was Clinton that took our Social Security so that he could claim he balanced the budget…)

Unless we have the courage to start building our future and stop borrowing from it, we are condemning ourselves to years of stagnation, interrupted only by recession: to slow growth in jobs, no growth in incomes, and more debt and disappointment.

(Uh…can somebody please send this to Harry Reid and Obama tomorrow?)

Worse yet, unless we change,  unless we reduce the deficit increase investment and raise productivity so we can generate jobs we will condemn our children and our children’s children to a lesser life and a diminished destiny.

Okay…if I was a House republican right now, I’d put this quote up, and say…HEY…Bill CLINTON SAID THAT, Obama. Our diminished destiny is here NOW!

What…do I have to dig this stuff up for these guys?

(Interesting….wasn’t it?)
