Stupid Bush Pictures
Xeen:
Let's get something straight:
The recession actually started while Clinton was still in Office (March 2000). Clinton himself had nothing to do with it. He didn't have any change any policies since 1993 about the economy. It's natural for the economy to undergo ups and downs. And after 7 years of constant ups, it had nowhere to go but down for a while. HOwever when Bush came along, his policies only made it worse and slowed the recovery of the economy, partially allowing things to happen that made people lose trust in the system (Enron et al, 9/11, environment policies, and 2 wars, and friendliness toward huge greedy corporations.
NOt to mention how he led Congress to repeal almost every environmental law passed by Clinton.
Neither BUsh nor Clinton had anything to do with building up the military. Yes, the military that invaded Afganistan was maintained under CLinton and partially grew at the time. However he personally had nothing to do with people signing up.
I love this latest Bushism:
quote:"Earlier today, the Libyan government released Fathi Jahmi. She's a local government official who was imprisoned in 2002 for advocating free speech and democracy."

Anyone who actually beleives that Bush's tax cuts work is... Bush uses tax cuts just to get people to like him. He says tax cuts are good becuase it gives hard working americans more money to spend, and when the people spend, it strengthens the economy. I say BULL SHIT! I think tax cuts are bad becuase then the government is poor. Schools and libraries and stuff like that are not funded so well when the government does not have much money. Sure, I understand how people are frustrated at how their tax dollars are being wasted, but cutting taxs will not fix the problem! We need our tax dollars spent the right way.

Sometimes, the way to get government to spend less is to reduce its allowance.
Oh wait, that was Reagan :D
quote:So it really is the whole story, then? The only reason Clinton is disliked is because of a stupid sex affair???

No, I already said it wasn't.
I just finished reading this book. Quite amazing.

If clinton is such a horrible president, then why was he re-elected in a land slide in 1996? Its not like he has a good smile and actor qualities that regan used to get people to like him.
Stilly:
well isn't it better that the government not have all the money?
money just gives the federal government more power
