Charles,

What is there to believe or not believe.  It is a fact.  Look it up.

God, here we go again.  Let's see, when Reagan was screwing us it was
all the fault of Congress.  Now, we have Clinton, and a Republican
congress.  Now, we hear it is all Clinton's fault.  I think you people
(Republicans in general, Charles specifically) really need to stop
all the finger pointing and realize that we need to work together.  You
cannot have it both ways, it cannot be congress's fault with a republican
president, and the presidents fault with a republican congress.
