I'm prepared to be crucified for this... but i'm gonna say the current one.

What has Al Gore done to deserve being liked?

[jin]

VIN DIESEL.

Well, maybe in a perfect world.

AHEhaEhhaehaHEhahEhhae

[The_Rorschach]

Andrew Jackson.

Possibly.

I don't really have any favourites anymore.

[Protoclown]

William Howard Taft.

I don't really know shit about him or what he did while in office, but I do know that he was so fat he got stuck in a bathtub.

[Paul138]

Andrew Jackson would be my favorite because he was all for "Fuck you I'm running this country my way" but he was the guy that supported the Trail of Tears, so, fuck 'em.

Clinton is by far my favorite. He's the uncle that'd buy you beer. Also did a way better job with the economy. Turned the National Debt clock off, then Bush turns it back on. How do you spell fuckup, Mr. Bush?

[kahljorn]

Doesn't the economy take like Seven years to take full-effect?

[Esuohlim]

I like the presidents on Saturday Night Live. Dana Carvey as George Bush Senior, Darrel Hammond and Phil Hartman as Bill Clinton, and Will Ferrel as George Bush Junior (Chris Parnell sucks at it )

LET'S TURN THIS THREAD INTO AN SNL THREAD

[Schimid]

I remember the episode where Tracy Morgan was the president. It was funny.

[VinceZeb]

Wow, Paul. You have made me ashamed to live in St. Louis. You obviously dont know shit about economics or history to realize that Clinton had shit to do with the enconomy doing well. It was 95% based on the dot com explosion, and then the implosion, which happened on Clinton's watch, btw.

Besides, everyone brags about the govt "surplus". Well, as anyone who runs a company will tell you, havint a "surplus" of money is a bad thing, especially if it is big since that money is not being used to keep the economy going. Besides, all that "surplus" is OUR tax dollars, ladies and gents.

[The One and Only...]

Recent President: Regan.

Of all Presidents: Truman.

[CaptainBubba]

Washington you bastards.

There was a man with principal.

[GAsux]

All personal life issues aside, I've always been a little intruiged by Kennedy. Perhaps it was his youth and energy but he seemed to represnt a new hope and faith in the government to a lot of people. I suppose they found out later it was perhaps unrealistic, but I think the nation really thought the Kennedy Administration could change the world.

Four more years would have been interesting.

[Protoclown]

I'm amazed by all the people who are choosing recent presidents, since I don't think there has been a single president worth half a shit in my lifetime (26 years). Are these guys really no worse than the earlier ones? Do they just seem more horrible to me because I've been alive to witness all their bullshit rather than simply read a synopsis of what they did in history books?

You've been reading out of Ronnie's economics textbook, haven't you, Vinth? You're twisting word meanings.

If a company has a "surplus" of money, it means that they have probably made a profit. You know, revenue minus expenses? It's a snapshot of one instant in time when all the dust settles.

Companies pay out dividends to shareholders and reinvest the "surplus." The government pays out in the hundreds of little social programs, tax rebates, grants and so forth, and reinvests some and saves some for a rainy day or an emergency.

Or did you honestly think that there's someone deep under the White House laughing maniacally as he watches them unload yet another truckload of bags with big "$"s on them full of OUR money, where they will sit for all eternity, making everyone poorer overall? Because, of course, in Vince Land, the actual value of money is IN THE PAPER!

Anyways, here is my favourite president.

[ziggytrix]

Adam Weishaupt

[FS]

I know people not born in the US can't run for president, but can't Schwarzenegger just scare Bush out of office?

[VinceZeb]

Achimp, the govt is a business. But the problem with this particular business is that the govt will ALWAYS have customers. It has them by force. Now, where does a govt make 99.5% of its money? It makes it from the TAX PAYERS! The govt is a shitty business model becuase it doesnt make money by itself all too often. Now, if we are running a high surplus, that means that the govt is taking WAY TOO much of our money, and needs to give it back to the people who pay it! It doesn't need to make another "social program". It doesnt need to give it to those who "need" it. It needs to give it to those who paid too damn much in taxes in the first place.

You mean a surplus means a company is making profits? Oh man, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT!
