Sen. Clinton attacks Bush over tax cuts
July 11, 2005
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton went on the attack against President Bush in a speech Sunday, accusing him of damaging the economy by overspending while giving tax cuts to the rich.
IT'S BUSH's FAULT! THOSE D*MN TAX CUTS!
Also dont forget Unemployment went down to 5.0%
Modern day conservatism means celebrating 250 billion dollar budget deficits.
Bumpers for bookemarks<pPprisoner6
No, Modern day conservatism means celebrating the fact that tax cuts work.
The deficit's going to be a whole lot less when I have to pony up 4/15/06 thanks to this terrible economy !
You must be a real stick in the mud to not be happy about a reduction in the deficit of 23.2% in 1 year.
And you propose what? Cutting 250 billion from the miltary, education and other such programs?
Sorry but even conservatives must deal with the hand they are given.. a sagging economy.. two wars... and security to be upgraded.
I guess the choice is to spend more and cut taxes.. spurring the economy in two ways.. more gov't spending and also more spending by consumers by putting more money in their hands.
The budget will right itself and everything will be fine.
Ummmm, Not Bush's Fault!!!!!!! Yeah, that's it.
Now if we could get those dolts in Washington to cut SPENDING...

Sad isn't it. Revenues are finally back to where they were in 2001, of course spending has increased considerably.

The deficit is 250 billion. Keep on celebrating.
I'm a stick in the mud when a one year budget deficit is 250 BILLION dollars. Glad to see someone is impressed. I'm not.
Modern day conservatism means being a supply side Keynesian. Have your cake and eat it, too! Don't worry! Your grandkids will pay the bill.
Tom Daschel is deeply saddened!
