Uh Archie, don't you remember the quote from der Slickmeister himself that he raised taxes too much?!?!? That he acknowledged raising taxes caused an economic slowdown? Didn't JFK say the same thing?

As for Bush's record, once again this is where your inability to use logic and reason fail you. You see Archie, on September 11, 2001 America was attacked by Islamofascists. This attack had the potential for significant negative impact on the economy and we were saved by the lowered tax rates and after the rates were lowered a combination of an improved economy and those rates resulted in record growth of revenues to the Treasury.....record growth AFTER a tax cut Archie. The exact same thing happened during the Reagan years. It always happens that way. You have to look at the whole picture Archie........educate yourself man, look at all the factors, think critically. I mean the Braves were also very good during the Clinton years but that didn't cause a surplus, right?

As for Clinton's record the only reason there was a surplus was the GOP controlled Congress forced him into making spending cuts and he was really the first President to fully experience the benefit of Reagan, Thatcher and Pope John Paul the Great having defeated the Soviet Union without firing a shot. Peace through strength.....a beautiful concept. But I will say there is no doubt that Clinton was more ambitious than he was ideological and he recognized that strong economic growth was important.....until he was reelected and then he raised taxes too much (his words, not mine) and caused an economic slowdown, thereby sending Algore into his fantasy world of Globaloney.

I would suggest some good books for you to read Archibald but it is frankly a waste of time. I just like defeating you in these arguments......for fun.
