Clinton never shut the government down. Clinton did not have the power to shut it down. Why are you changing history? I don't understand why people do that.

- ajross 15y agoYou misread. He means that the republican congress failed to reduce spending as fast as 92-94 even though they shut the government down.
- NoPiece 15y agoThe congress passed continuing resolutions that would have kept the government running. President Clinton vetoed the resolutions, so there was no money for operations. That caused major portions of the government to shut down. unless you are really trying to parse the words, I'm not sure why it isn't fair to say Clinton shut the government down. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_federal_government_shutdown_of_1995_and_1996#Event http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_federal_governmen...
