Remember how as the economy was booming through the 90s, conservatives were saying that this was in spite of Clinton. Now, why do we act differently when a Republican is in the White House? How about some consistency on the right?

Clinton inherited the Reagan tax break (the economical "nudge"), creating a great economy via giving money back to the private sector.
Yes, it started 2 years before Clinton took office, but Clinton recieved the chunk of it - and the credit- believe it or not!
Then, Clinton gave us the biggest tax increase in American history, taking money back out of the private sector - starving spending, building, and innovation.
Now , Bush has inherited the Clinton rcession.
He'll give the money back like Reagan.
Whoever gets the next election will have another great economy.
If it's a democrat, he'll clam credit for it again, and he'll ruin it.
Then, a Republican will come back and fix it again!
Two tax relief presidents in a row would make every American rich! That usually doesn't happen. When the ecomony is booming, social leeches line up at the voting booths demanding even more free stuff, and the cycle starts again.

It sounds as though we are in agreement, but I don't think any of the talking heads get this concept. Rush sure doesn't and I haven't heard of anyone else espousing this philosophy either. Are there any FReeper economists out there who could write a nice essay on this "delayed response to economic policy" idea?
