You might have used another scenario to make your point.
I've been a Viking fan living in football purgatory for 35 years...blowing a 52-0 lead sounds perfectly plausible to me.

Because I am a moron, I venture over to DU from time to time. I checked out all the threads I could find on this. There is a single poster going from thread to thread to thread saying "This increase is all due to military spending. Take out increased military spending and the numbers are dismal."
There is another couple posters following him around pointing out he is lying and posting links to evidence that he is a liar. Its pretty funny.

Wacko at DU admits the truth!
I was afraid this would happen. The Fed's lowering of interest rates and the Bush tax cuts have given a big lift to the economy right before the election. When joblessness starts declining, the economy will no longer be a "big" political liability for Bush.
The poster has admitted several things. They (democrats) fear an improving economy, thus have been hoping for a worsening economy. Tax cuts have helped the economy, not destroyed it as they have been saying.
The Thread
Another poster called him on it. I can't wait to see the sparks fly. And I wonder how quick that poster will be banned.

these people are too funny>>>"If Gore had become president and been hit by a recession right away (which would have happened no matter who was president), and then two and a half years later the GDP grew at 7.2%, every single person here would be singing the praises of the great economy."
- only Gore would have hiked taxes so growth would not have resumed

Another...
I am so conflicted. While I know that the GDP numbers are cooked, I still find myself wishing for bad news. BUSH HAS TO GO! Someone help me. And this is the start of the thread! The guy actually started a thread saying this!
Here
Any time the RATS claim they are not wishing for bad economic news they are LYING!

Keynes is complicated. He set up some basic ideas that even Friedman works off of. Keynes believed that you could manipulate GDP by tax cuts or spending increases. You could expand the economy basically by running a deficit. Then, you run a surplus to make up the difference.
Well, that's the way it's supposed to happen. It never does. Deficits are fun for governments. Surpluses aren't.

several Freepers need to be on a suicide watch over this!It never ceases to amaze me how much some people want to be miserable-- no matter what....

Call it supply side, call it market economy but it's anything but Keynesian. Bush's economic advisor, Mankiw, is definitely Keynesian. In fact, his dog is named Keynes.

DO you have charts covering the Clinton econimic slide/stock market colapse that started the recession? It would be interesting to see.

The gdp soars, the money supply increases, and 18 million new jobs since NAFTA was signed!

Bush's Inaugural was Jan-2001. Did Dubya cause the slide? Judge for yourselves...This is what the DemocRATs refused to accept. All we heard was Bush caused the recession. Without Bush's tax cut, just imagine the trend...

To: AdamSelene235
I may have to eat my words, then. But tax cuts aren't usually from the Keynes playbook, are they?
