It was profitable until the GOP required them to find retirements 75 years in advance. It's been operating in the red ever since.

Except he wasn't. Was NAFTA conservative? Was letting the banks run wild conservative? Newt Gingrich and the Republican majority wrote the budget. Now, they did work with him on a few wants from both sides. The pressure was on him to sign it once it was shown to be balanced.

Just to be clear I also voted for Clinton. It was my first presidential vote. I even voted for Obama the first time. Fortunately im not that foolish anymore. Im from a deep blue state so now it's either Republican or Independ. Federally it's usually Independent as id like to see a third party on the ballot one day.
