pan6467 - What facts are those? Please don't even pretend that the left doesn't ignore facts they don't like and can't defend (I have yet to see a left tfper come to the defense of the democrats being bought off by the trial lawyers for one thing). Lets take your facts posted above, is unemployment higher now then in 2000? Yep, and you want to blame Bush for it right? I have to ask you why? You don't know you will just say 'see, see its his fault!'. But Pan6467 what should GWB have done? Should he have done the wacky things the French did which has turned their economy to sludge? Should he have raised taxes? Should he have made it illegal to fire people?
He did what he could, lower taxes, increase the money to the private sector and let the economy sort itself out. Its working just fine. There is very little a president can do to improve an economy, but there is a lot he can do to screw one up by getting in the way.
Now lets get to the meat of the deal. Do you agree that Bush inherited a recession? I don’t think there is a lot of debate about that, but you never know with the left. Do you know that when you are in a recession, jobs are the last to go. I don’t know if you ever had to fire anyone, I have, and its something you try to avoid. Likewise when things start to recover the last thing you do is hire. You don’t want to hire someone you don’t really need. Also I would assume you know that small business numbers are not accurately portrayed in unemployment figures and we have had a boom in small businesses? Finally you do know how much damage 9/11 caused to the economy right? We had just started on a recovery and then ‘boom’. They didn’t call it the world trade center because it was a sports complex, and that’s only the direct damage.
My first post in 7 months, (
http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthread.php?t=67722) stating MY views some members of the left decided that it was a troll post and I was told and I quote from a long time TFPer ‘Also, I enjoy the taste of Karl Rove's cock.’. Good job tilted left, you restored my faith in you! It was a troll post in some minds of course because I was saying bad things about democrats. Never mind that I see true troll posts from left wing tfpers all damn day and not one of those people complains about them.
Get off your high horse and come to grips with the fact that you perhaps do not understand what you are talking about when you refer to the ‘right’.
You are willing to think the worst of the Bush government yet not that there maybe problems in the press or the education system? You think people like me want to ‘destroy’, your word not mine, the press and the education system? Where do you GET this stuff from? All we seek is a balance in the press (and we are getting close) and while we may wish to destroy the teachers union as it is hurting our children (and is buying the democrats), that is not going to destroy education. I have a great respect for education, you NEED to be smart to be a evil neo-con like myself and I have my letters being my name then I care to list. I want people to be better educated.
If you wish to have an intelligent debate that’s great, I'm all for it, but you are going to have to come to understand that I don't agree with you, that doesn't make me stupid.
