A wonderful economy

Code Blue!

Can you say tax cuts?  Caught off guard, the DNC's primary media organ was forced to. Republicans are already arguing that the revenue jump proves that their tax cuts, especially the 2003 tax cut on stock dividends, would spur the economy and ultimately increase revenues.'' "The tax relief we delivered has helped unleash the entrepreneurial spirit of America and kept our economy the envy of the world," President Bush said in his weekly radio address on Saturday. We know that can't be true.  What's the alternative theory Mr. Dean? ''Democrats and many independent budget analysts ...  STOP THE TAPE!  I want you to name some of these ''independent budget analysts,''  Mr. Dean. Okay, Continue. ''... note that overall revenues have barely climbed back to the levels reached in 2000, and that the government has borrowed trillions of dollars against Social Security surpluses just as the first of the nation's baby boomers are nearing retirement.'' "The fact is that revenues are way below what the administration said they would be a few years ago," said Thomas S. Kahn, staff director for Democrats on the House Budget Committee. "The long-term prognosis is still very, very bleak, and the administration doesn't have any kind of long-term plan." And what part of 2000 would that be?  January, when the economy was in mid-Clinton recession, and the stock market was tanking big time?  Or November, when it was in total free fall?  Like the man said ... good news for America is  bad news for Democrats. Why is that?  Discuss among yourselves.
