RE :”I do not believe you can attribute the incentives in the poor an minority home s program to Bush alone. ‘...”Yes, Bush and the ‘pubbies blew it but not nearly as bad as this gang is intentionally destroying all that they can.

Bush paved the way for Obama/Pelosi by talking capitalism and supply side but actually acting progressively. And by 2008 (with the democrat congress) he was acting with them, just like them.

But my point relevant to this thread is that there was a housing bubble and government spending with the tax cuts so he made it impossible to prove the actual good the tax cuts did. It will take Democrats failing to renew the tax cuts now showing bad consequences to destroy the current democrat myth that :”Clinton's tax increases saved the economy and Bush's tax cuts (for the rich) destroyed it”. It is important that Republicans call it the Obama tax increase when that happens.

Excellent post. Unfortunately, although they can explain why the "Clinton Boom" occurred despite tax hikes, too few "conservative talkers" understand the whole truth about Bush vs. Obama, let alone state it out loud.
