Dan;
Well, Clinton signed the bill, but it was largely Ernest Hollings (then
D-SC) and the republicans in the senate that were behind this. At the time,
Bush 41 was playing speed golf in Houston, and Bush 43 was an obscure Texas
governor. However, there are several folks here who don't let facts get in
the way of a bad political whine.
However, there was the lowest amount of Federal debt in my lifetime at the
beginning of the Bush 43 administration. Clinton's tax cuts helped there.
The spectrum sales were a part of that.

"They [FCC] are just the spectrum sales group for Bush,Inc."
Wasn't it Pres. Bill Clinton's group that set up the whole plan to sell
spectrums in auctions? The way I remember it, these sales were to provide
income to reduce the deficit. So isn't aren't the sales really paying off
debt incurred in the 90's or even earlier?
