Won't the surplus come back once our economy is just as strong as it was under Clinton?
What, exactly, would be the fucking point of all that? He uses his magic words, makes the economy turn down, for what? To pass a tax cut? And then he says it's all ok, and the economy comes back?
Why do all that?
Quote:Simple - the American people, those that voted for him and those who didn't, didn't support his enormous tax cut. So he set out to try and convince people that the economy was bad - which in Republican terms means in need of stimulation through tax cuts. If he could make everyone think things were starting to turn to shit, he believed he could justify his larger tax cut. Even better, since he knew the economy was truly in good shape, once he got his tax cut passed, he could stop pretending there was a bad economy looming, and instead claim there would have been a downturn, but his tax cut saved the day.
