Gore does have a heckuva reputation for being a notorious cheapskate. With HIS money, mind you, never with the taxpayers!
===========================================
Care to provide us with an example of Gore's spendthrift ways with taxpayer money?
Gore was put on the Clinton ticket because he was to the right of DLCer Clinton, both fiscally and socially.
As VP, Gore took on waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government & advocated trimming the size of the bureaucracy & the number of regulations. Following a pattern set during his years in Congress, Gore held town meetings with federal employees to explain his objectives & listen to their suggestions. He consulted with cabinet secretaries on ways to streamline their departments. He appeared on late-night television, wearing safety goggles & smashing an ash tray with a hammer to poke fun at the Pentagon's requirement for an expensive "ash receiver, tobacco, desk type" that would break into fewer than thirty-five pieces. After a six-month study, Gore & Clinton stood together on the WhiteHouse lawn in September 1993, with two forklifts piled high with federal regulations. Gore's report, From Red Tape to Results: Creating a Government That Works Better and Costs Less, made 284 recommendations for paring down & reenergizing the bureaucracy. Implemented by executive order & legislation, the proposals reduced the federal workforce by a quarter of a million jobs, to its lowest level in forty years.
It's one thing not liking Gore (I've got my own beefs with him), but Iying BS like yours
