Thanks Clintons.

We have a strong economy because of Ronald Regan.

I was beginning to think I was alone in that very same opinion. However, if bubba gets credit for the boom, he gets credit for the bust. DK.

I'll be derned.

Something good came out of a political thread.

I finally found something I agree with Gary on!

Careful there Bubba!



Agree with me ONCE, and we write it off as a momentary lapse - do it TWICE, and you might wanna look up a good psychiatrist!

I always get a healthy laugh from revisionist liberals constant bleat as to how GW "ruined" the economy, and "squandered" a budget surplus "created by Clinton" - then include the long diatribe of associated ills that accompanied the economic downturn...



You see, The economy was well into it's upturn many months BEFORE Bush Sr. left office and Clinton stepped in - yet the liberals insist on giving Clinton all the credit for that upturn.



By contrast, the bubble burst and the stock market collapse began nearly a FULL YEAR before GW came into office, while Clinton was still President - yet the revisionist liberals NOW want to blame all the downturn on GW!



Hey guys, you can't have it both ways - or revise economical fact to your personal fantasy world - remove all the ecomnomy related blather from CF's post, and the rest pretty well collapses WITH it!



Fact is, Clinton - OR either of the Bushes had precious LITTLE to do with the economy - and trying to claim Clinton created "good times" is pretty much like saying the sun comes up in the morning because a rooster crowed...

I agree that the "ball was rolling" but I think their policies encouraged a little more "swing" to the pendulum.



I'm not impressed with any of the presidents we have had lately. I think Clinton was a brighter mind. (except for being incredibly stupid about certain things) Bush is probably a more moral person, but not the brightest bulb on the tree. I was skeptical about the invasion of Iraq, but in hindsight it was probably a good thing. I am concerned about the debt we are racking up. While things are looking better again on the surface, I think we will pay down the road.
