You might want to check the facts.

WW2 was a fellow from New York, Korea was a fellow from Missouri, Viet Nam was a fellow from Mass. As for inflation, maybe you are not old enough to remember the fellow from Georgia.

This is the best economy just about ever. Low tax rates all the way around. People are eating well and doing just about anything that they want to.

Count you blessings, it could have been Gore or Kerry!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone remember Reagan’s “Big Tent”? The man who seems to be conservatives’ “Once and Future King” built a coalition of groups who were conservative on some issues and not-so-conservative or liberal/crypto-socialist on others. He was able to give us a military buildup (for which I will be thankful till the end of my days), tax cuts, and energy deregulation not much else (corrections welcome). He was willing to accept huge deficits and increased spending (including a lot of pork barrel spending) as the price for getting what he wanted.
Take a second look at the graph on antipoverty spending. Between about 1990-92 and 2002 the antipoverty spending percentage grew from about 9% to about 16%. For most of that period Bill Clinton was President and Republicans controlled the House. The spending has actually leveled off under GWB. The other graph on spending-national income tracks with the recession that actually began in 2000 and the war on terror.

Yeah, it's pretty good, but ever? There have been booms where unemployement got under 3%. Right now it's just under 5%.

Not for long. Just wait till all that debt Dubya took out to finance his spending binges comes do, not to mention the massive new unfunded liability he created with his givevaway to geesers prescription drug plan.

By maxing out their credit cards. If you think this debt-financed consumer and government spending spree is sustainable, you need a serious reality check.
