Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton charged yesterday that the $1.35 trillion Bush tax cut "undermined our fiscal responsibility and our ability to deal with this new threat of terrorism."
"If we hadn't passed the big tax cut last spring we wouldn't be in the fix we're in today. But the fact is, we are," Mrs. Clinton said during an interview on a CNN special, "America's New War."

eight years of prosperity...because we paid down our debt and got rid of our deficit
first, and got rid of our deficit is superflous, because as any moron knows, you can't pay down any net debt while you are still incurring additional debt by continuing to run a deficit
i will ignore the fact that scumbag variously said that it would take 10, 5, 9, 7 and 8 years to eliminate the deficit, all just months prior to being dragged kicking and screaming to sign the legislation
leaving eight years of prosperity...because we paid down our debt as the only utterance worth examining
it reveals her underlying belief that only the government controls our economic destiny by implying that no prosperity would have been possible if the government had instead run deficits and increased total debt
which, of course, ignores what scumbag wanted to do and actually did, as the fact is that total federal debt only started decreasing after 1999 (u.s. treasury debt totals)
it ignores the fact that it's impossible to credit "8 years of prosperity" to debt reduction when debt hasn't been reduced until the 8th year
it ignores the fact that the previous 20 years of prosperity had coincided with rising federal debt (not a causal factor, just a fact)
and, finally, although this economic illiterate would probably call herself a keynesian, her implication is that more debt reduction is always a good thing, a statement any actual keynesian would retch at
in any case, after ridiculing her statement, we should hold the imbecile to it and its implications, as it surely leads to the opposite of her real preference to spend all national income as she, and only she, sees fit
the wicked witch of the east has succeeded only in conclusively demonstrating that she's not fit to run a kool-aid stand
You got it.
Yes indeed.
Hey hillary!, go straight to hell, and take your butt ugly daughter and your mentally ill "husband" with you! 20 posted on 11/11/01 12:21 AM Pacific by kattracks
This is a request for you to chime-in more often!
How could Bush have helped Lazio in New York? If I remember correctly, Bush got even fewer votes than Lazio did there!
She can't go there (to hell) fast enough.
Puhleese. Like NY went to Bush/Cheney.
If you hadn't stolen the election, the people of America and NY would NOT have to be listening to your dumb ass on CNN, but the fact is, you did.
Shut they hell up, Shillary, before you get booed again in your 'home' state!
Norb in Jacksonville
My view is pretty simple too: B*TCH!
Well, finally a Republican gets it dead right!
Attaboy!
No matter how many times we say that it's the same old song, it does not change that it's an effective song. If it weren't, there would be overwhelming Congressional majorities for Republicans, and I would have Bret Schundler as my new governor. And yes, dammit, it would be helpful if the Republicans would stand up for their beliefs. Since 1995, they have more often than not run away from defending their policies, leaving the RATS to do as they please.
Which brings us to Lazio. You have to believe the guy was totally demoralized after he was declared the loser of the first debate against Hitlery despite scoring an overwhelming victory. The media and the RATS spun her victimhood over Lazio approaching her, and in some quarters Russert's tough questioning, to declare her the winner. The Republicans, true to form, ran the other way, and it was over. Of course, there was probably a good dose of fraud in there, but without a challenge, we'll never know how much. All we know is the Hasidic village of New Square votes for pardons payoff, and that went nowhere.
Lazio could have beaten her, but it would have taken a lot of national support that the Republicans in office refuse to do. Again, since 1995, this has been a consistent problem. W did not win because of the perseverance of the national Republicans, he won because of his personal perserverance. If he had to rely on the Congressional Republicans to fight the post-election battle in Florida, we'd all be hugging trees for President Flavor-of-the-day Gore.
