Which is how Republicans express their frustration with Clinton for daring to
keep one of *their* campaign promises.

Clinton balanced the budget and
created a surplus. Even George Bush
admitted that.

"My plan returns about one of every four dollars of
the surplus to the American taxpayers, who created
the surplus in the first place"
George Bush, Feb 21, 2001

"You see, the growing surplus exists because taxes are
too high and government is charging more than it needs."
Bush Address to Congress, Feb 2001

As did John McCain:

"I believe we must save Social Security,
we must pay down the debt, we have to
make an investment in Medicare. For us
to put all of the surplus into tax cuts,
I think is not a conservative effort."
John McCain, January 11, 2000

As did Newt Gingrich:

"We should take the $1 trillion in SURPLUS
and spend it on a tax cut,"
http://www.ctj.org/itep/ging98an.htm

As did Fox News:

"The last surplus was in 2001, President
Bush's first year in office."

So just what do you propose that you sacrifice from the services &
benefits that you've personally received?

Be specific. And make sure that it is a sacrifice to you personally,
because "make some other guy pay" is a lame cop-out that doesn't work.
