You know why? Because he cut taxes big time - - - which got the economy growing big time; the deficits didn't matter (except in Democratic rhetoric; Walter Mondale was very worried about them, even while the economy was creating a record number of new jobs);;;;; Bush, however, pushed for relatively paltry tax cuts - to be phased in over a decade --- at which time they disappear and taxes rise again, unless something is changed. TALK ABOUT UNCERTAINTY AND INABILITY TO MAKE TAX-RELATED PLANS! Bush may have a war to keep him high in the polls for now, but he's no Reagan when it comes to domestic policy, and we're the poorer for that.
