Short attention span? I guess you missed the double digit inflation during the carter years.
Clinton didn't bring anything down. He merely was president during the Internet Bubble.

Not only that but how is fixing our infrastructure going to help us pay back our debt? Our manufacturing sector is a hallow shell. We owe trillions to China, Saudi Arabia, Japan, and building roads here isn't going to pay them back. That's like a person who is in debt going into more debt to remodel his house.
It's funny that economics on a personal, local and state government level in the face of debt, reduce spending. Yet on a national level we need to run up huge deficits to cure debt?
Fucking lunacy.
