I asked you for evidence damn it. In this entire thread, you
have been giving one no after another and you haven't given any
damn article. Where the frak did you read any of this crap shit?
Some right wing journal that is the stuff of fancies of the
conservatives?
What frakking policies? What pork barrel spendings? I can't find
any accusation by anyone that he performed pork barrel spendings.
List them down here then we talk. List thoroughly or else nothing
you say is worth a dime.
Its coincidental with the later IT boom which has nothing to do
with the govt.
Had they not introduced teh bill, the boom would had been even
greater.
How do we know? Every time taxes were cut in US, the economy
boomed.
Post your damn proof. This bill had taxes cut for the lower
class and for small businesses which provide a strong bulk of the
employment in the US. The end result was a huge surplus. Please
tell me why a huge surplus should appear when you claim he merely
rode on their policies. And one more thing, budget surplus depend
quite nearly entirely on the previous year's budget policy.
And yet when taxes were cut, these Republican presidents were
unable to balance the budget because they continued heavy spending
on the military and other things. Typical Republican budget
policies.
And give historical evidence that taxes cut = economy boomed. Such
a correlation is overly simplistic.
And guess what, George H W Bush did raise taxes at the end of his
term in an attempt to address the growing deficit:
Several other factors were key in his defeat, including agreeing
in 1990 to raise taxes despite his famous "Read my lips: no new
taxes" pledge not to institute any new taxes. In doing so, Bush
alienated many members of his conservative base, losing their
support for his re-election. Bush raised taxes in an attempt to
address an ever-increasing budget deficit, which some attributed
the to the Reagan tax cuts and military spending of the 1980s.
George Bush had been supported in 1988 by conservatives to continue
the Reagan revolution, and was seen as a failure in this regard.
Ironically, Bush had previously admonished Reagan's supply side tax
cuts in the 1980 presidential primary when he referred to Reagan's
tax proposals as "voodoo economics."
How many times are you going to ignore what I said before?
Reagan spent so much money on the military he sent the country into
a huge debt. Under the Clinton administration, the US actually
managed to pay off some of that debt, only to have George W. Bush
erase all of that. Do note that George W. Bush practically
replicated some of the older Republican policies.
really? they didn't back track on kyoto and they didn't back
track on foreign policy either.
Oh really? The Kyoto treaty was never ratified, since the
Republicans were pro-business. The foreign policy? Good lord have
you been sleeping the last 10 years? Foreign policy under the Bush
administration was a complete polar opposite compared to the
Clinton administration's.
Wrong again. Social funding hit record highs under Bush.
You sure didn't follow US politics did you?
For someone who painted all the democrats as bumbling fools in
the Californian electric shortage crisis, that is rich. More so for
a person who is totally ignorant of history and fires one
accusation after another without producing any evidence.
Are you in the business of rewriting history ? Or are you
pretending to be knowledgeable? For one claiming to be, you are
doing a really bad job at making it seem like it.
