Let's begin with foreign policy. Obama destroyed Putin when he allowed fracking and lifted sanctions on Iran, both of which lowered the price of oil and crippled his economy. He also put sanctions on Putin and Russia while Trump wanted to lift sanctions on Putin and put them back on Iran. This is important because Putin needs high oil prices so he's more inclined to support Bush, who lied about WMDs so he could start a war and give us record oil prices and Trump who wants sanctions on another oil producing country like Iran. The gop thought the Clinton tax increase was going to cause a recession. They were 100% wrong. Did they force Clinton to undo the tax increase or did they let the money flow in and then take credit for it? You know the answer. By the time Newt talked about balancing the budget the deficit had already collapsed from over $290 billion to around -20 billion. He had nothing to do with it....not one thing. His plan called for a balanced budget after Clinton was out of office but by that time they were cutting taxes again and creating deficits. The facts are 100% against you on this one.
