"He has not created jobs, he has not provided small businesses with adequate incentives to invest in new workers, and he has not exercised discipline in balancing the budget," Davis said.

Pot, kettle, black.

[Batrachian]

"...he has not exercised discipline in balancing the budget."

Democrats would criticize the president even if his policies where a rousing success, but this part of the statement I can't argue with.

[Torie]

is that his economic policies have caused deep deficits and widespread job loss that continue to weaken our economy, not improve it," Davis said.

Davis is clever enough to not say California deficits, while implying it, ie that the California deficits are all Bush's fault. That is clever, because he has an exit strategy if called upon it. He can just say that he was kibbitzing about federal deficits for the fun of it, because thinking about anything related to California, is a total downer. I understand.

Blind eye???

Two tax cuts is whole lot more than can be said for Gray Davis

[riri]

Ping! I think you called it.

[xrp]

Where is it in the US Constitution stated that the President is responsible for creating jobs? I do know that in the US Constitution, Congress is responsible for fiscal items, which is why I pay such damned high taxes.

FYI, from today's newspaper --

Florida jobless rate falls to 5.3%
[Jeb's FL: 16 consecutive months of job growth]

Bwahahahahahhahahahahahahhaha!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, tell me Matt, since you didn't say anything behind what was posted, do you concur with this Democrat's criticism?

I got a lotta livin' to do before I die, and I ain't got time to waste.

"He has not created jobs, he has not provided small businesses with adequate incentives to invest in new workers, and he has not exercised discipline in balancing the budget," Davis said.

Maybe because he has to clean up the mess and the fraud left by blowjob bill!

...U.S. Rep. Artur Davis of Alabama...

He needs to buy either an "h" or a brain though neither will probably help.

[Sir Charles]

"President Bush's misguided economic policies of huge tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans and spiraling budget deficits have been a failure," U.S. Rep. Artur Davis of Alabama said in delivering the Democrats' weekly radio address.

I get so tired of seeing this. If this claim is not true, why can't someone with concrete information refute it each and every time it comes up. Pretty soon I'm going to believe it!

[F.J. Mitchell]

First off: Balancing the budget is never the number one priority while a Country is involved in a war for it's survival, if we lose the war against world wide terrorism, the state of the budget would be the least of our worries.

Any tax cuts made by Bush regardless of whom ever they allegedly favor, have been so watered down by the liberal democrats and moderate republicans, that their effectiveness has been limited at best.

The economy in reality is a whole hell of a lot better than the liberal media and liberal blabbering heads will ever allow us to know about.

Wal'Mart became the exclusive Outlet Store in America, for Chinese made goods, during the Clinton Administration.

Buying American made goods, just meant a long search and paying considerably more, before Clinton-Now the search for American made merchandise is more futile than looking for a needle in a hay stack.

It's time to stop bashing Bush and start blocking Hill-the worse than Bill, Clinton, or just resign ourselves to becoming another proverance of Communist China.

This pack of treasonous devils are really in a panic now.

Q3 GDP growth will top 5% and the unemployment rate will sink below 6% by New Years.

By election, 2004, the only concern that had a chance of diminishing Bush's chances of reelection, the economy, will be his strongest asset!!

My prediction........unemployment 5.5%......Dow........11,000.......and more tax cuts in the pipeline!!

[xzins]

The economy grew at 2.4%, unemployment claims were down, Bush's approval was at 60%.

If this were a Democrat, the media would be blaring trumpets proclaiming the Millenarian Kingdom on Earth.

Thank you all for attending this thread. We're here to discuss what an awful, stinking, terrible job the president is doing on the economy. Okay. Now that you've had your say on that, I'd like to address my questions specifically to those who are doing all the complaining. Democrats and one IINO (Mr. Jeffords): What are your positive proposals for solving all the problems you continuously point out? Let's hear 'em. And no socialism, please; those suggestions will be thrown out. Keep in mind we're in America, okay? I know it's hard and you're not used to solving problems without changing rules, distorting facts or creatively using the judiciary, but you've obviously got a better idea of how this country should be run, or you wouldn't be criticizing President Bush.

So far, we've heard from some of you that higher taxes would create jobs. Prove it, providing all necessary facts and a timeline for when we can expect the employment boom and subsquent glowing economy.

And you, Senator Dimbrain, are contemplating rescinding the tax cuts as a way to help the economy. If you suggest that, what will you do for the people who were complaining with Tom Daschle's and Marian Edelman's encouraging support that they didn't get a tax rebate for their chillrun?

Yes? Old Crusty? Sorry, I meant the co-president senator from Illinois Arkansas New York. The preview of your plan is in your book. Oh, I see. And we have to buy it to find out? And the full plan will be revealed in your next book? Speak up, please. I can't hear you. The what manifesto? Uh, thanks, Senator. I'll go on to my next question.

Since you're all obviously so much more deserving of the presidency of these United States of America (the REPUBLIC), can you please tell us how you will do better at taking care of the important things you neglected from, say, 1992-2000?

"click here to read article"

Looks to me like about half of the repliers to this thread never read the article! It's quoting some Alabama jerk named Davis!!!

This thread isn't about Groveller Gray Duffus of California, for once!!!

Lately... CONFUSION REIGNS ON FREEREPELLIC.COM!!!

"huge tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans"

I don't recall any Democrats even propose excluding the wealthiest from the tax cuts. And 79% of what they are labeling wealthy are actually small businesses who file differently than corporations. Small businesses are the ones who are doing the most hiring in most states. My son qualifies as one of the small businesses and he is planning to buy equipment toward the end of the year and hire at least one helper. :^) my son's thrilled to find out he is "wealthy"; he got his license to do the same kind of work he was doing just a year ago after being fed up with the low wages and benefits he was getting.

[abt87]

Let's see...GDP up....unemployment down....retail sales improving because of the Bush tax cuts...you're going down Gray!

This is what you call the wimper of a very desparate RAT!
