Forward this to Al Gore and tell him to shut up about "Growing " the economy. Only Fascist think that the government is the method for "growing" an economy. In case a liberal is lurking look up Fascism in a dictionary. You'd be surprised.

Al Gore should have criticized Clinton then. Clinton ran in 2000 with a deliberate desire to drive up the deficit through a massive infrastructure program. It was an old fashioned 'New Deal' method to 'stimulate' the economy. Instead, Gore teamed up with this FDR-style 'economist'.

This article is quite correct, but what it misses is the point that Bush's tax cut was (a) big enough to give the Dems a campaign issue while at the the same time (b) being far too small in its first 3-4 years to have any growth impact on the economy.

It would have been poetic justice if Gore would have won the election and inherited the failing economy of Billboy's mis-administration.

I suppose his answer would have been a tax increase. I'm glad it didn't happen.

I still don't understand that lib theory that involves taking more of my money and tying it to an economic upturn for the nation?
