It's an intricate dance, to on the one hand try to take credit for things "on your watch", and manage to push blame chronologically and carefully onto others, before, or way before...
It's all bullsh*t. You either take credit and blame for your term, or you don't.
I didn't vote for either, and wouldn't, but if Clinton, or even Gore, were president today, the stock market would be healthier with greater confidence in a more open government, and the Middle East would be under more capable negotiations with an administration not dedicated to maximum world warfare.
Neither Clinton nor Gore would I vote for, but either are vastly preferrable to the current regime: Bush as Senior Warlord, and Junior as the titular head of state.
Regulation certainly does increase the cost of doing business.
But how about war? Does that increase the cost a tad? Check the DOD expenditure plans for the next 6 years, plus all the FOB expenses in and out of government, half a trillion, or more.
How about cost of energy? Oil has got to rise to pay off the FOB that are heavily invested in this regime. That's several hundred billion.
The "Bush Tax" on Americans and business is going to be in the trillions.
No, it's not socialism. It's more like a typical warlord economy, with handouts to partners in crime, by taxing the weak. |
