If you want to oversimplify and dwell in partisan land be my guest. I am not your conservative-pundit opponent and bantering with you does nothing for me.

I like to discuss and I'm a pretty striaght foward person.. I don't care if someone is a conservative..or Liberal or whaterver..I could careless about that bi partisan bullshit..because thats what it is and anyone who buys into that crap is doing themselves a diservice IMO..I said at the beginning of that post that I was going to put it in as simplest terms as I could and thats exactly what I did..
we could banter all day..basically what your saying is ..things could always be better...
which is fine...things can always be better..but that doesn't detract from the fact that things were pretty good ecomny wise when Clinton was in office..and this is just my opinion..but I believe that if Gore had of rightfully taken his place as President..that things would have been just as good and maybe even better...we'll never know..because that didn't happen..
But one thing we all know...for sure...is that things aren't good now and they are only getting worse..that we all know for sure!! right!!..right!!
the hows and whys at this point makes little or no diffrence..so when I see or hear people..passing the buck and making excuses and not taking responsiblity ..much like the current admistration..its a waste of everybodys time
we all know the economy is bad and getting worse..but instead of hearing people say ..well this and this happened and hemming and hawwing..I want to hear what can be done about it now..( something that the Bush Admistration hasn't addressed at all and have no intentions of doing)I don't want to hear excuses..tell me about whats going to happen now ..how is it going to be fixed..because all I know for sure is that things were pretty damn good during the 8 years of the Clinton admistration and the 4 years of the Bush admistration its been bad from almost the 1rst day he took office and its getting worse by the second... and when I say second I mean that literally.
the facts are the Clinton administion made choices that stimulated the economy.. and thats why things were good ..they taxed the top 5 percent they gave tax breaks to the middle and lower classes..they supported programs that helped develope a strong consumer base..which resulted in more small business being started...these were choices that the Clinton admistration chose to do..
The Bush admistration didn't chose to stimulate the econmy ..actually they made the choices to do the exact opposite..for example.. starting a war on Iraq.. giving tax breaks to the top 5 percent ..giving big business tax breaks to take our jobs overseas .. taxing the middle and lower classes and and cutting programs that supported a strong consumer base..which results in downsizing loss of business and jobs,... Creating a trillion dollar deficit thats only going to result in higher inflation and high intrest rates.
The only reason that the bottom hasn't completely fell out...is because Alan Greenspan has kept the inflation down and intrest rates relatively low..but if Bush cheats his way into office again..I'll bet you $50 dollars intrest rates will go threw the roof!! with our surplus completely wiped out by the Bush administration and the deficit now into the trillions of dollars thanks mostly due to Bush's war mongering..you can be sure that its going to go up!!
you say you don't support Bush and his admistration..well then don't make lame ass excuses for them!!

Hi I'm new.
SgtGump had a good statement earlier about the actual influence of the president. The head of the federal reserve has a lot more influence than the president. And I'm fairly sure that the same guy has been running through the Clinton administration and the current Bush administration. Just food for thought. If anyone knows more about the role of the fed, I'd like to hear more of that.
