Re: What the 90s had to do with it

^"Where are the jobs after the tax cuts?"^

I counted roughly eight million payroll jobs between 2003 and 2008. There they are.

If the premise now has been shifted to "we liberals think there would have been a lot more than eight million private sector jobs under Bush if taxes had been a lot higher," say so. It's nuts, but say so. Maybe, just maybe, the 90s were about something other the glorious Clinton, government, and taxes that were only marginally higher than historically low levels?

Check this document out. The word "tax" doesn't even appear in it.

The Democrats have panicked in the face of their deficits, and instinctively fallen back on "more taxes, more spending, more government." It's irrational, but it's really the only significant political idea they've ever had. The problem is they fired too soon, and they don't control the narrative any more. People are beginning to realize that Obama is not all that coherent. If you try and follow the Democratic Party's political drunkard's walk, you're going to crack up.
