Just because I'm not sure I beat this horse to death yet, here's something I pulled from the GreedyAssociates boards for lawyers:
Quote:
"I think Bush has lost a lot of credibility in the fight for fiscal responsibility, and has (incredibly) made Clinton look good by comparison."
Agreed. Bragging that you've held domestic discretionary spending to a 4 percent increase is less impressive when it's pointed out that the increases during the Clinton years were even lower.
The logic of using tax decreases in part to "starve" government and force it to make the tough choices falters when a Republican administration and congress are each unwilling to complete the equation.
