Our youngest president was 43. But thats beside the point. My point was the ones who are creating the situations that we find ourselves in today are not the ones who were not alive for the last quagmire, but rather the ones that lived through that time. Its cyclical, everybody screws thier children.

Actually, I'd say that the people who are getting us into this current quagmire both dodged the previous one (King George II dodged the draft during Vietnam, as opposed to Al Gore, who did serve), and were wealthy enough to not be horribly affected by the last budget disaster (the Bushes were rich as hell during the Reagan budget woes, and so seemed to benefit from them).

Funny, isn't it: we need another Tax-and-Spend Liberal (booga! booga! booga!) to balance the budget (a la Clinton) that the Fiscally Responsible Conservatives have blown out of the water (a la Reagan, King George I, and King George II).

And that's a fact, Jack,
