Bill Clinton was in office 92-2000.
Were you active duty during those years? There was a military pay raise in every one of those years, ranging from 2.2% to 4.2%.
Were you Federal Civil Service? There was a pay raise every one of those years ranging from 2.4% to 4.2%.

Credibility?

1986-1996 (Active duty- 2 reserves)...and no there were no raises during Clintons terms still have my Leave & Earnings statements showing none, nadda, zip...

If you did not get between a 2-4% raise (cost of living) adjustment each of those years you may have a claim against your Branch. (Assuming the Statute of Limitations is still open.)

Here are the charts....

Those charts are highly questionable when compared to my L&E statements.

Trump will send us back to the GOP/Bush years of crazy fiscal policy on deep tax cuts, increased military spending and deficits.

Deficits? You mean the Trillions of debt Obama has added since he's been in office ~ 10+ Trillion and counting. Not including the cost of running an already over bloated unaffordable care act that is slipping away.

Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid alone count for more spending than military spending.

Obama has added $6.49 trillion to the deficit (a 56% increase while Bush added $5.8 trillion (a 101% increase from Clinton).
So it cost money to "Fix" the US economy ruined by Bush and Wall Street. Are you better off now or in 2008 the financial crisis?

Debt – The U.S. government’s debt owed to the public has more than doubled. It is now more than $13.6 trillion, an increase of 116 percent since Obama first took office.

And the debt also has grown dramatically even when measured as a percentage of the growing economy, from 52 percent of gross domestic product at the end of fiscal year 2009 to just under 74 percent at the end of fiscal 2015, according to the most recent estimate by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

Massive federal deficits continue: The final figure for FY 2015 was $438.9 billion. That was about $44.5 billion less than the shortfall in fiscal year 2014, but CBO projects that without further spending cuts or revenue increases, deficits will soon be growing larger again, and will top $1 trillion in FY 2025.

Total debt, counting money the government owes to itself, currently stands at nearly $18.9 trillion, up nearly 78 percent under Obama.

Also, Obama increased military spending to around $800 billion a year on average. In fact, his security budget request of $895 billion in FY 2011 set a new record. Even though troops were withdrawn from Iraq in 2012, and Osama bin Laden was eliminated in 2011, Obama requested $851 billion in his FY 2013 budget. Although Obama abandoned the phrase "War on Terror," he spent $857 billion on it in Contingency funds. That's more than the $850 billion Bush spent.

Keep in mind, in the Obama era, the deficit has shrunk by $1 trillion. That’s “trillion,” with a “t.” As a percentage of the economy, the deficit is now down to just 2.5%, which is below the average of the past half-century, and down from 9.8% when the president took office."

The deficit is completely and utterly moot when you $20 Trillion in the hole and growing. It's a term that is overwhelmingly abused.

Bernie didn't make it, but the ripples of influence his candidacy stirred up are still rippling. Trump is a wart on all of humanity.

Many of which stated that Trump would win after being locked out of the DNC in Texas. Going on the record (during the race) and stating she's an awful leader then publicly supporting her later doesn't do yourself any favors nor lift your credibility. It only assures what many already know...you're part of the problem.

Hmmm, I watched all the debates during the primaries, but I don't remember him ever saying "awful leader." Care to enlighten us on where you heard that?

He's had very parting words about Hillary during his run before bailing out. One only has to use Google to know that.

"Just take the oil."

Priceless. The man really has no clue how the world works.

Oh no no no it doesn't work like that. See, when you blatantly accuse someone of saying something, you must prove it. This is high school level stuff, not the kind of thing adults need reminding of in a persuasive context. By this logic, I say the Flying Spaghetti Monster exists because you can find it on google. See your problem?

Robbie

I think the flying Spagetti Monster would run the country better than Trump. All this spending and Obama's fault crap, who sets the Budget? The GOP Congress that's who. Congress spends the money

Hope you're not implying that Barnie was talking highly of Hillary during his run. He wasn't, he pointed and called her out many times. A caveman knows this. Good luck finding your monster because I can find a plethora of Barnie trash talk on Hillary. Remember when Hillary's lips are moving...she's lying.

Snopes and Policifact both have proven HC doesn't lie much but rather its a GOP slander job that has been going on for years. Pull your head out of the sand and see what a BS 'er Trump is.

I am more worried about Trump's getting money from Putin!
