Pro-growth of what?

Deficits, unemployment and corporate crime, all stock in trade of the Bush Economy.

You're not familiar with Gramm's or Armey's economic views, are you?

Yeah, right. Nice try there Murray Mom. It was government spending, at the hands of the democrats, that have brought about deficits. And I may I suggest you check the dates of when all this corporate crime occurred? Hmmm...seems to me it was during the 90s when your beloved clinton was at the helm and that snake Rubin was loving it up with all the crooks on Wall Street.

Give it a rest.

Lindsey is a prominent supply-side economist who was appointed a Federal Reserve governor by the current president's father. Lindsey also played an important advisory role in President George W. Bush's 2000 presidential campaign.

Both men have been the focus of criticism from the GOP pro-growth wing for some time. Calls for O'Neill's resignation have built steadily almost from the beginning.

Lindsey is a former supply-sider. If he were still one, the GOP pro-growth wing would have liked him.

That would be the economy! It should be pretty obvious to anyone who has paid any attention to either Gramm or Armey's politics.

Pro Growth of the economy, which implies less growth of goverment. Steve Forbes was on Radio and speculated that Bill Archer, who way the Senior Republican on the House Way and Means committee for years, may be the new Tresuary Secretary. WHile at Ways and Means Archer held hearings on Getting rid of the curent System and replacing it with a Flat Tax or a NRST. He also favored repealing the 16th Amendment. He was the only member of congress who filled out his own Income Tax forms each year.

He would be an excellent choice. It was also mentioned that Bush would be proposing a New Economic package on Dec 17.

>>Early speculation as to their replacements is mute, but names frequently mentioned in the past include retiring House Majority Leader Dick Armey of Texas, former Texas GOP Sen. Phil Gramm and magazine publisher Steve Forbes --all favorites of the GOP's pro-growth wing.


Steve Forbes I'll go along with .....maybe even Jack Kemp or Prof Laffler.

Haven't heard from you since the election! Well it taken a couple of years to clean up the mess he inhetited from Clinton/Gore, jsut as it took a couple of years for Reagan to clean up the mess left by Carter.

Remember, that the fraud and corruption took place on the Clinton watch and was discovered and exposed on the Bush watch. BTW the stock market started tanking in March 2000, guess who was President? Hint, it wasn't Bush. The other interesting fact to come out the past year was the revelation that Corporate Porfits had been overstated by 30% for the 98/99 timeframe, guess who lied about the numbers? Yup the fraudmeisters in the Clinton administration.

Now go away while the adults clean up the mess left by the teenagers in 2000.

NO, it's called taking responsibility for doing a lousy job. Responsibility....... something no one in the last adminstration knew anything about.
