No, I think that Bush made a mistake letting Darman talk him into the tax increase, and I think Clinton did well in keeping Greenspan on. But each situation has details. Clinton was thwarted in new spending initiatives, and in the nationalization of healthcare, for example. I think that his proposed stimulus efforts, and Clintoncare, would have been disasters. Therefore, if he had gotten his way, things would look very different, and, I think, far worse. On the other hand, Bush was reluctant to raise taxes, but the only way he could get a deal for some steps towards deficit reduction with the Democratic Congress was to agree to the hike, so it was, at least in part, forced on him. Not a double standard, different stories........
