Gore looked us in the eye and said we'll get a new $10,000 college tuition tax deduction. It's a lie. It's an $800 addition to an already-existing $2,000 credit. And then there are all the other Gore lies.....

The Democrats pushed for the tax increases in 1990 along with Bush to try to narrow deficits. Of course, it didn't work to raise taxes in a recession. Rostenkowski at that time was pushing for a 22.5% FICA tax and increased premiums for Medicare that the seniors defeated after the bill passed. So, Bush gets bashed for doing what the Democrats wanted all along. He does deserve the criticism but they both do. Fiscal restraint is nowhere in the government budget as it's increased by $ 600 billion per year since 1992.
