Americans Listen Up - Dems Do It Better!

[kpete]

Yeah pretty much
Longtime GOP economics consultant Bruce Bartlett states the truth:

Putting all the numbers in the C.B.O. report together, we see that continuation of tax and budget policies and economic conditions in place at the end of the Clinton administration would have led to a cumulative budget surplus of $5.6 trillion through 2011 – enough to pay off the $5.6 trillion national debt at the end of 2000.

But, of course, the Republicans won the White House and C-Plus Augustus blew up everything from the Deficit to the much of Asia. Not that we'll ever hear about this again. No, David Gregory has to have his Sunday morning biscotti without the agita of truth.

1. Yes, we were scheduled to be at a balanced budget this year.

But Greenspan, in arguing for the Bush taxcuts, thought a balanced budget would be bad for our economy. We needed a certain amount of debt for the markets to work properly, he argued. Well, we got it.

2. We know Democrats do it better

the question is when will America know the democrats do it better.

Almost daily I see a new chart or graph which demonstrates that under Democratic leadership the economy does better, and for the most part the rich do better too. I have more than once seen a bad economy fixed by a Democrat and a good economy destroyed by the Republicans.

But, the American people don't seem to get it. I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND!
