Reply #18: This is classic political spin [View All]

Anything good is because of "us" anything bad is because of "them".

Of course it's hogwash (from both sides).

"The economy was not in recession when Bush took office, that is repug propaganda. The economy was doing worse because repugs took office in 1994 and slowed Clinton's tax increases for the wealthy."??? But we had the best economy in decades under Clinton, and none of it started until those last six years. So they implemented some policy that didn't effect the economy until 6 years after they enacted it? The 2000-2001 start of the slump is due to soemthing they did years before? But the current Bush cuts somehow hurt the economy before they were enacted?

You have a funny notion of macroeconomics and fiscal policy.
