Okay, so the part where Clinton "slashed" the intelligence budget hasn't quite been established yet. Keep us posted, bc I still want to know what exactly happened.
Anyhoo

Clinton only had 2 years of Democratic control. The 'pubs had 6 years of Congressional control on his watch - remember the Contract With America and Newt Gingrich and the 1994 elections? So they had 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 and most of 2000 to propose giving more money to the intelligence community. And if they did that, AND Clinton vetoed it, then you've got something.
