You and I both know it was just a bought and paid for election. Nothing more, nothing less.Quote from RCG Trader:
Fair enuf.
The stimulus failed so badly that Obama won re-election, the dems gained in the Senate, and are threatening the house in 2014.![]()
Quote from Mav88:
1. Read some history about the 1995 budget showdown that forced clinton say in 1996 "the era of big government is over"
Here comes the retard with another set of disingenuous dataQuote from Mav88:
2. wow, just wow
Here is our exchange:
The data: Average GDP growth rate 93-94 = 3.5%
Average GDP growth rate 97-2000 4.45%
that's right dumbass, keep arguing against the data

you cannot do such a thing shithead, there is no such thing as a single complete, ab inito, and flawless model
the economy was 'easing into a recession' in 1998??? You are seriously stupid. GDP growth rate 1998-1999: 4.6% [/B]
Quote from exGOPer:
You have a problem reading, don't you? I said a 'year after' when the internet bubble was peaking. Typical disingenuous Con.
Funny thing is that the economy started easing into a recession a year after these Repub policies,

you lie about what you just wrote, the call me disingenuous? LOL
Quote from exGOPer:
Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997- reduced revenue by 0.2% of GDP
Quote from Mav88:
you forgot to add they cut cap gains from 28% to 20%, then you forgot to add how the economy boomed after that
Quote from exGOPer:
AGAIN, the Repub policies went into effect in 1998 and not 1997 - do you even know how policies work? The tax cut (that you wanted me to double count) went into effect in 1998 and a year later, the economy peaked and started sliding. Why is this so hard to understand?
Also, if Repubs are to be credited with the 98-99 economic growth, why aren't they to blame for the slide from 99 onwards? I bet you won't answer that.
