You don't agree what?

TRA86 was a totally bipartisan effort.

Even if it was big legislation, the issue is that it wasn't "rammed through" the way the cap/trade bill was, and the way they're trying to shove government health care down our throats.

And there wasn't any dishonesty about it. We knew throughout the process what was going on -- it was open, there wasn't the lying and misrepresentation we're seeing today.

You can disagree all you want to but you're disagreeing with facts.

Then you don't agree with objective measurable historical fact.

I've already pointed out the heavy support for the 81 tax cut, and a fair amount of Democratic support for Bush's first tax cut. The 86 tax cut passed in the Senate by 282 to 95 in the House and 74 to 23 in the Senate. Again no ramming through by Republicans.
