4. As one whose eyes begin to glaze over
reading a lot of economic reports, aren't many of these exactly the same arguments made before President Clinton's targeted tax increase in 1994? That was passed without a single republican vote. The republicans then predicted that unemployment would soar and they foretold of the complete destruction of the economy.

I guess they were right! After all, there were only 22 million new jobs created. Looks rather anemic compared to the job creation enabled by the Bush tax cuts! The deficit suffered too. The Clinton economy was just a disaster!

Oh,.....wait.... Ummm...
