Great to hear!

Rudy's fiscal conservatism and turnaround in NYC (1993-2001) has been called the greated achievement of the 20th century.

the greated achievement of the 20th century.

Sure put that moon landing thingy to shame. Totally blows away penicillin. Or eradicating polio...

Yeah right!

Lets see (in no particular order):
- Invention of the airplane
- Mass production and affordability of the automobile
- Development of antibiotics
- Curing polio
- Defeat of fascism
- Defeat of the Soviet Union
- Manned space flight/moon landing
- Advances in communication (worldwide telephone, satellites, internet, etc.)

Rudy benefitted from a very strong economy throughout his administration, Wall Street executives were getting staggering paychecks and bonuses that resulted in greater tax revenues for NYC. Essentially, the economic benefits to NYC were going to happen regardless. In the end, the "economic turnaround" of NYC only had a real effect on people who lived there. But hey, if you want to go around telling everyone that Rudy's economic policies as mayor was the "greatest achievement of the 20th century" knock yourself out. But let me just warn you that Hillary Clinton WILL BE ABLE TO SAY THE EXACT SAME THING ABOUT THE AMERICAN ECONOMY DURING HER HUSBAND'S ADMINISTRATION.

.."the 'greatest' achievement of the 20th century."?!?!?

• Yep, sure beats that Moon Landing thingy and the entire NASA program.
  
• Gen Chuck Yeager will be greatly disappointed that breaking the Sound Barrier on October 14, 1947 was meaningless.
  
• And defeating the Axis Powers in WWII was what .. a part time job done by HS drop outs?
• Not to mention the Wright Brothers 1st heavier than air flight in 1903. You know the 'Airplane'.
  
• Or Marconi's first transatlantic radio signal in 1901
  
• Yep greater than the invention of Television.
  
• Much greater than Air Conditioning
  
• Greater than the 1st COMPUTER
  
• Greater than the Internet
  
• Etc, etc, etc, etc....

Please, hyperbole is one thing, utter nonsense is another.

BTW, your 'fiscal conservative' has REFUSED to sign a 'No Tax Pledge'.
