Hillary Blames 9/11 Attack on Bush Tax Cuts

Sunday Nov. 11, 2001; 12:37 p.m. EST Hillary Blames 9/11 Attack on Bush Tax Cuts

New York Sen. Hillary Clinton said Saturday that she blames the Bush administration's tax cut program for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks that leveled the World Trade Center and destroyed part of the Pentagon.

"If we hadn't passed the big tax cut last spring, that I believe undermined our fiscal responsibility and our ability to deal with this new threat of terrorism, we wouldn't be in the fix we're in today," Clinton told CNN's Jonathan Karl.

In addition to undermining the country's ability to deal with terrorist attacks, Clinton said the Bush tax cuts worsened the economic downturn in the wake of Sept. 11.

"We had eight years of prosperity because we paid down our debt and we got rid of our deficit," she complained. "We hit a rough spot, and it was turned into a terrible bump because of the attacks of September 11."

Clinton also criticized the economic stimulus package passed last month by the Republican controlled House of Representatives.

"I thought the plan passed by the House of Representatives was a fiscal disaster that would set our country back for years to come," the 2004 presidential hopeful said, adding, "I don't understand how they passed it with a straight face."

Clinton slammed Bush and congressional Republicans after telling CNN that "the fight against terrorism has to be such a united effort."

CNN's Karl did not ask Clinton about her husband's comments Wednesday, where he seemed to blame the 9/11 attacks on 19th Century U.S. slavery and the mistreatment of the American Indian.

She was also not queried on accounts by former White House insiders who say her husband was too preoccupied by his extra-marital liaisons to follow through on repeated promises to hunt down Osama bin Laden.

Hillary is someone who should not be heard

Maybe we should blame the attempt at socialized medicine for the 1993 WTC bombing.
Maybe we should balme the 1993 tax increase on the 1993 WTC bombing.
Maybe we should blame the Lewinsky affair for the embassy bombings in 1998.

Need I go on?

If mr. Clinton was doing something about terrorism, like finishing off Bin Laden & Co after the bombing during Bill's precidency, instead of putting cigars where they don't belong, there wouldn't be the 9/11 attacks. Hellary is just trying to cover things up for Bill.

I seem to remember someone running for Senate in New York who last year achieved the release of several Puerto Rican terrorists who planned to blow up the Statue of Liberty and other symbols nationwide. The convicted terrorists were released early, apparently to get votes from NY's large Puerto Rican community; sent an interesting message and it didn't have much to do with the tax cuts, did it?.

Sorry. When I read it I knew I just had to post it here to share my misery as well. I'm so tired of the media giving her air time on her own terms. How does she get away with it?

This only applies to Hillary's ilk, not to patriotic American Ladies.

This "new" threat of terrorism?

I find it hard to believe that America's smartest woman didn't hear about terrorism before. One would think that Hillary would at least remember the first WTC attack that occured during her co-presidency.

She is SO OUTRAGEOUS I CANNOT STAND IT. Is she STUPID or what. If her impeached husband hadn't dismantled the military, properly responded to terrorist attacks during HER administration, and concentrated on real terrorists instead of gays in the military, we would not have been attacked at all.

Gee, I liked my statement and it isn't anti gay, just that they are really a non entity if they would keep their mouth shut.

"If we hadn't passed the big tax cut last spring...

Yeah, and if the Clinton Administration hadn't pushed for and got the biggest tax increase in 1993, the biggest tax increase in the history of all mankind, then maybe the Republicans wouldn't have had any need to vote for a tax cut to lift the burden imposed by the Clinton's.
