Does anyone remember what prosperity was called in the 80s?

(hint - It started with "Gree" and ends with a "d").

Is it possible that Clinton is as bad as Sowell and the other Clinton-haters say he is?

YEP ..

[bigjoesaddle]

This would have been below 150 words no matter what... that's because no one can explain HOW Clinton did it.

Because he didn't.

I used to get mad when some ill-informed idiot wrote something like this. Then for a while, I got got sad at how much ignorance and hypocracy we have to struggle against. Now it's just good for a laugh.........

[wjcsux]

No, Thomas Sowell, Joseph Farah and the rest of the so called "Clinton haters" gave Bezelbubba more credit than he really deserved...

[and a dozen barf bags]

Nah, one good body bag would do.

[Slyfox]

[and a dozen barf bags]

On second thought, one good HAZ-MAT bag might be sufficient.

Another demo trafficking in the big lie. Clinton inherited an economy coming off a brief setback due to Gulf War shock and set for growth. His efforts to stifle it through tax increases and socializing the health sector were largely thwarted. In other words, whatever good he did for the economy was largely through his ineffectiveness.

President Clinton was good for the economic health of the country and deserves lots of credit for accomplishing this . . .

. . . and it had nothing to do with the first Republican Congress elected since the first term of the Eisenhower administration who wouldn't let DIRTXPOTUS spend everything he wanted.</sarcasm>

[VRWC_minion]

So Clinton helped us trade 5,000 American lives for a new SUV in the driveway ?

There are seminar callers, and there are seminar writers.

Well, what else would you expect from Pravda? These idiots at the LA Times are economically and financially ILLITERATE. Let them suck on their thumbs and wet their beds now that Bubba is gone.

[logos]

Proof positive that the United States has the strongest, most vibrant economy in the world - even idiots and liars can get paying jobs.

[mlocher]

president clinton was good for the economic health of the country...

ok, this is one thing he did not screw up too badly. but i dare anyone to name a piece of legislation that clinton or his administration was responsible for that improved the economy. don't say nafta because clinton got in front of the parade on that one.

clinton was at the right place at the right time. some argue that his tax increase actually hurt an otherwise robust economy.

does anyone remember what prosperity was called in the 80s? -- LOL!!!

Tell me you don't think that the vast majority of letters to the editor are anything but seminar productions. . .

[okiedust]

That about says it all. Beats the 150 word limit too. Perfect.
