Yeah, like, well, since the five years or so before when Reagan was president.
How quickly the left forgets. How quickly they forget that the strength of the Clinton economy came after 1995 when Bill and Hill were unable to ram anything they wanted through congress. How quickly they forget how quickly all these advantages were p*ssed away when the jackass party to back control of both houses of congress in 2006.
They don't forget.. they simply live and thrive on the lie. What they'd like us all to forget is the economy was in a major tailspin going into the 1994 midterm elections. Only after the massive GOP win that resulted in spending cuts forced upon a VERY reluctant Bubba did we ever see budget surpluses and a growing economy.
