2004 American Economy
| Sat, 08-21-2004 - 4:06pm |
Electing William Jefferson Clinton as President of these United States of America,
proved that to elect business-intelligent people at the national level
very much does improve the lives of working American citizens.
Recall that even with "the Fed," (Alan Greenspan) making eight years worth of decisions designed to impede Bill Clinton's economic plans, that America nonetheless
achieved the very best economy, in decades ... and please further recall that
this present day, "Bad-For-Business Bush Economy"
began for Americans with
America being into recession/depression BEFORE the 09-11-2001 attacks on America.
Simply following the course of Bush action (inaction) in not having any real plan for America's economy, gives us the "trickle-down-enonomy LIE,"
(called 'voodoo economics' by Bush1)
and resulting in over three million lost jobs, for America.

I believe the following to be American citizen's best advice:
"To make it financially in America,
I believe it will be necessary for us all to
vote for John Kerry (2004) for President of these United States of America.
After four long years of watching our jobs disappear,
waiting for this republican Bush-economy to "trickle down" something,
my warning to my fellow Americans is this:
if anything at all "trickles down" toward you,
from this bad-for business-Bush economy,
JUMP OUT OF THE WAY ...
you would not like it to splatter upon your lowliest work clothes!
Electing John Kerry is the best plan."

If people truly understood the economic machine in this country, they would know that the only two tools that a President has at their disposal to aid the economy are 1) tax cuts and 2) low interest rates.
The only fault I may have with Clinton (and it is actually more with Greenspan) is that interest rates were increased too late, and too quickly, which basically slammed the economy to a halt.
It's been 3 1/2 years now, about time you guys got over Clinton.>
Who said it was Clinton's fault? I give him neither the blame, nor the credit. I do, however credit the Bush tax cuts with turning the recession around into an expansion despite greater challenges than any administration has had to deal with, well, ever probably.

I agree ... several of the men responding to this thread are indeed still trying to blame Bush's many failures on Clinton ... anything to avoid accountability.
John Kerry is correct; we need an America that is both stronger at home
as well as respected again in the world.
Because John Kerry is "reporting for duty,"
(as he always has reported for duty, for America)
I intend to support John Kerry with my vote:
John Kerry for President of these United States of America."

What was stated was that the economy started slowing during the last year of the Clinton presidency, but that's not the same as *blaming* him for it. It's a question of when, not *who*.
So, perhaps you can explain just how an economic slowdown which began before he took office is Bush's fault, or to use your own words, one of "Bush's many failures"? The truth of the matter is that it was neither Bush's nor Clintons fault, or "failure". So where in this thread are you seeing anyone trying to "blame Bush's many failures on Clinton" where the economic slowdown you posted about is concerned?
