2008 Democratic National Convention thread

Bush gave away most of the surplus before we were attacked in the form of tax breaks. That's why a lot of folks voted for him. Clinton's big mistake was in leaving it in piggy-bank form so every candidate could make a lot of promises about what to do with it. He should've committed it to deficit reduction, which would've given the next president flexibility, but prohibit bankrupt promises.

He gave the tax cuts cuz Clinton last 2 quarters were not good economically. Or was it the last 3?

He had the foresight to know what was coming. I remembe reading that the we prolly would have been in a recession (by definition) if Bush hadn't put money in the pockets of the peeps that drive the economy.

Despite what you are hearing on the channel you watch, Iraq is going to be in disarray no matter what.

So the only question is, how many more Americans have to die and how many more billions (trillions?) need to be spent?

Cue "the narrative of defeat" talking point.

Based on what? Or convince me. I guess its possible, but I think the gov't is getting more equipped to deal with Governing their country every day.

I'm so glad Bush saved our economy from certain disaster.

He did in a lot of peeps opinions whos job it is to evaluate those things.
