There are too many hooked on government large-es already to neutralize any conservative push to rein in spending. There is too much momentum against us. Sad but true.”

The GOP supplied the Dems with much fuel for this to speed up the process.

Here’s the optics for most regardless of the GOP’s alternative version of history:

Republicans wanted everyone to know that Clinton RAISED taxes and GWB cut taxes, and they succeeded too

So Clinton leaves office at a time when it looks like things
went pretty well for the past few years,
and GWB leaves office when all hell is breaking loose and he is on TV demanding congress give him a huge blank check to bail out the banks, or else great depression is coming.

So this leaves certain destructive associations behind.

Clinton lucked out..

1) Hi-tech boom

2) dot com boom.

“and GWB leaves office when all hell is breaking loose and he is on TV demanding congress give him a huge blank check to bail out the banks, or else great depression is coming.”

Bush had a lot to do with HIS bust. Contrary to Bush apologists, Bush campaigned for the damn NINJA loans, so he OWNS them.

As for the “blank check”, that is merely Bush putting another nail in our coffin.
