<<No, you are very confused. The "Stimulus Package" was defeated because it was just massive pork/payoff to greedy Dems. It was the massive tax increase that passed with Gore's vote.>> Fair enough. But my analysis holds; it was the tax increase that started the deficit going down and the tax increase did not throw the economy into recession as many Republicans warned. <<Tax increases do not "juice" an economy under any theory of economics - they restrain economic activity.>> You are right, but I mistyped. I meant to say "GOP tax cut increases," not "GOP tax increases," which is clear in the context that I was writing because the GOP has never called for a tax increase in my memory. As for your criticisms of Clinton reneging on his promise, that's fine, but is it better for the President to do something responsible and economically sound (which later proves to be so) or is it better to stick with an election year promise that ends up being disastrous to our economy?
