Voting With Our Bucks
Here is some good economic news...which will be difficult to find in the drive-by media.
JASmius adds: And increased consumer spending isn't all. Unemployment is down to 4.7%, manufacturing continues to expand, and oil prices continue to decline. But nobody knows about it because the Bushies won't tout the many rich fruits of their tax cut panacea.
I've never forgotten how Bill Clinton was able to win the presidency in 1992 by running against an economy that was booming at a 4.2% annual clip. How was that Pappy Bush refused to defend that economy; that he had nothing to do with it, and a lot to do with trying to tank it instead with his 1990 tax increase, functionally discrediting him from doing so, was almost beside the point. After all, Sick Willie was in the same position himself when he ran for re-election four years later, and those impediments never stopped his glorymongering. Heck, remember how he was given credit for the economy he inherited a full two months before he even took office, and a full year before he could affect economic policy? Why couldn't Pappy have done that instead of going down without so much as a whimper?
Bush the son has even less of an excuse for his omissions. His position is the diametric opposite of his dad's: inheriting a sinking economy (and the Islamic problem) from Bill Clinton and cutting taxes to jump-start resumed growth. He needs to be glomming credit for this achievement like Mr. Bill never did, all the moreso given that the Enemy Media will never give him said credit as they lavished such fellatingly on his misbegotten predecessor.
Instead, there is only silence. And the Dems, banking on retaking Congress in November by mischaracterizing a booming economy as the Return of the Great Depression.
Yes, politics is a game for the narcissistic, not the humble. But as the famous philospher Ken Patera once said, "It isn't bragging if you can back it up."
