Do you have links that say the economy under bush is better than under the clinton administration? Since we don't really know if kerry would improve the economy because it hasn't happened yet, all we can really do is compare republican to democrat stats. And i'd be interested to see the numbers from 2000 compared to 2004. |
That's a faulty argument, though. The economy began recession prior to George Bush even taking office. Artificially inflating the numbers in the economy with trade agreements like NAFTA and the 2000 agreement with China completely destabilized the economy. Bottom-line, economists are saying that repealing the tax cuts will shock the stock market and send us right back into a downward spiral rather than an upward one. But the problem is that Kerry wants to dump everything into socialist programs, programs which drink budgets for an afternoon shake and have little to no return. |
Ok, so lets assume that Clinton headed the country into a recession when George took over. Is the country still in a recession, or has bush turned it around? Are there numbers that say the numbers are higher now and Bush has taken the country out of the recession? Have tax cuts made the economy better? And at what cost?
If taxes are cut, there are obviously less funds for the Government to work with. That, coupled with an expensive war probably leaves the government with even less money. So what suffers? Education? Healthcare? People living around the poverty line? Are social programs that evil that people would rather have cuts made to them instead of being taxed to pay for them?
