Double X

A budget surplus. Where he spurred economic growth and lowered unemployment as well. But it's fine, don't sweat it I was just wondering what your opinion was and what measures need to be taken to help our economy again.

Um no, you said there'd be less corruption without our system of government...so the lack of a government would be anarchy. It's not like you offered some better alternative form of government over what we have now.

If I had any idea I'd run for office.

I think the economy in the Clinton years was largely as good as it was because America was free from War for the first time in 60 years. Still paying War debt from the past yes, but not adding anymore finally. He raised taxes yes, but so has every other president in my lifetime before and since. I'm not sure he managed the money well, but he did a nice job of not rocking the boat while he was in office. In a weird way I am a Clinton fan more so then most other presidents. He's a horrible person at the core, but i'd trust him to run my company I think.

Perhaps he was implying inherent corruption in our current form of government. And that addressing that would be a step in the right direction.

I was talking about a third/fourth etc party system, as opposed to our 2 party system, hardly anarchy.

sleepy jack

Yeah but what would be the point of addressing it? According to him it's just the product of having a two-party system so unless we operated under a different system of government it would always be there. It makes no sense to me but then again he hasn't really explained what it is about our government that directly causes politicians to be corrupt.

You're aware we have more then two parties right?

While I to am perplexed by a lot of the Proggyman's statements, I have to agree more choices equals a better qualified representative of the people. Down with the two-party system.

Wtf, I think it's obvious I mean a party that actually matters, not one that might get get 1% of the popular vote if they get really, really lucky.

Ace

Quit nitpicking. It's quite obvious many of our politicians are corrupt. Just look at the Bush regime. The system may at times influence and tempt people to act in a way they shouldn't, but it is an individual's responsibility to stand up and uphold what is right. If they fall into corruption, it's their own fault.
