Mr we could use a man like William Jefferson Clinton, today.

Clinton did zero to fix the budget deficit, he just so happened to be president when the economy was decent and welfare was a smaller percentage of federal spending.

The members of WWII generation were in their last years of work or delayed collecting their social security until their 70th birthday.

Healthcare, while expensive, was not as expensive as it is today. No Obamacare mandates, tranny care, no Medicare Part D, no major wonder drugs that were priced in the 10’s of dollars per pill to get a hardon yet to be paid by the government or 1,000 Ozempic pens,, etc.

A car was still reasonably affordable, no six figure EV’s and 7500 dollar tax credits for the rich to afford the EV’s.

No millions of migrants sucking the federal treasury dry, if they came they found work. Some were sent back at the hands of early morning FBI raids, even a famous kid. If they had a kid on US soil, we did end up having to pay for something to support our new citizens.

No major nation building expenditures in places that hate us, and a MIC that was smaller before exploding after 9/11.

We still had some manufacturing still based in this country before being shipped to Mexico and eventually China.
