Then, he came forward endorsing a balanced budget--but only if the time-frame were 11 years. Then nine. Now seven--but those pesky Republicans are still "extremists." Funny, isn't it, that most of Clinton's by-now commonplace "about-faces" have been in the Republican direction? One might well wonder whatever happened to the Democratic party...
