The only two POTUSes to put us in the black are Clinton and Obama with any substantial REAL recovery of lost wages due to cost of living. Brought about by horrible deficits occurred during spending sprees the neocon would go on each time they got a chance to pillage the Treasury.

It's a proven fact that neocons can manage their own money, but are horrible with other peoples money. They also can't govern worth a shit.
