You sound insane. Blaming Bush's problems on Clinton and crediting Clinton's successes to Reagan who wasn't even in power before Clinton? What about Bush Sr.? Or isn't he symbolic enough for you to notice? LOL Hey pal, Clinton changed economic policy when he came into office and started balancing budgets. Only AFTER THAT did our economy boom. That was a near perfect economy, and nbot deficit financed like reagan's and Bush's GDP growth. Bush changed policies when he came into power (talking about fixing what wasn't broken) having inherited a surplus, balanced budget, full employment and liquid treasury. After Bush's moves the the economy dipped even more and jobs hemmoraged. Some was due to 9-11 but not all that much. Bush further dampened the economy by his long Iraq War scare and invasion. Plus his buddies energy gouging of course and soaring health care costs. That kept the economy down for an entire year and it is still not healthy. It's still all deficit-spending and war driven. Now Bush has us trillions more in debt because he doesn't care about pay-as-you-go. If he gets re-elected add a few more trillion onto the debt. Reagan did the same thing though at least there was some purpose to his tax cuts, trying to revive a stagnant economy. Bush is the only president ever to lose jobs over his 4 years since Herbert Hoover. He is the biggest deficit spender in history. Government has grown by leaps and bounds under Bush. A few special interests do well under Bush but most people have done worse. Most people are less secure. That is why 65% of Americans feel we are on the wrong track per last week's poll. People cannot be fooled all the time, remember. People have woken up to the lies of the Bushies, amnong them that cutting taxes and increasing spending can balance budgets. Only a mentally retarded person would believe that.
