Luck is the residue of design. Tax cuts work everytime.

Life's losers always petulantly claim that the winners just got lucky.

Did this guy ever stop to consider that Bush is reaping the fruits of good economic policy rather than repeated good luck??? How blind and stupid can you get?????
To: Tumbleweed_Connection
Hysterical. Bush, with all of his pro-growth policies, is "lucky", as he steered the economy to great growth after the cataclysm of 9/11. Clinton, who was lucky enough to get the benefit of Bush 41's economic policies, was considered the mastermind architect of the "Clinton economy".
I'd be upset if people still actually took the media seriously. As it is, this is just another example of flagrant media bias.

The Harvard MBA who gets by on dumb luck. Sure.
Well, Wash Postie, perhaps as in golf so in Presidents. Better to be lucky than good.

Junior celebrated robust growth Does anyone else bristle at this term?
George W. is NOT "junior".
He is your president, Mr. so-called "journalist".

This article is amazing stupid even by the standards of the WashPo.
What are they thinking?
The relationship between taxes and growth has been established since Reagan's time.
To: Tumbleweed_Connection
When the economy was doing well under clinton, it was because of his leadership, even though nobody can say just what he did to make it happen.
When the economy does well under GWB, it's because of dumb luck, even though you have to deliberately ignore or misrepresent the things he's done to make it happen.

As opposed to the very unlucky bastard named Jimmah Cahtah. His policies had nothing to do 21 1/2 percent interest, an energy crisis, gas lines, turned down thermostats, the debacle in Iran, giving away the Canal, etc., etc.
