In 1993, President Bill Clinton signed a budget that passed without a single Republican in either the House or the Senate voting for it. Right-wingers all over the country in various forms of the media -- which, contrary to their lies, is NOT controlled by liberals and never was -- said that his plan would fail, because it was "socialism," full of "pork," and doomed to "failure." Yet the plan succeeded, and we got out of the 1990-93 recession and, by the time Clinton was re-elected in 1996 and all through his second term, we had the greatest economy in our history. Now, having to clean up from an even worse economic disaster left us by another President named George Bush, many of the same right-wingers, and many new ones who believe as they did, are saying President Barack Obama's stimulus bill is "socialism," full of "pork," and doomed to "failure." They were completely wrong last time (or lying), so why should we believe them this time?
Sway: I believe Paul Krugman, who says this stimulus bill is far from enough, and he's the reigning Nobel Prize winner in economics.
Missouri "Patriot": Clinton did NOT inherit a good economy. I know: I was unemployed when he was elected. There were no jobs to be had.
LAK: I did believe there would be a housing crisis. You know why? Because there was a moron in the White House. He doesn't have to worry about housing!
Levelight: Bush didn't inherit a recession. He caused one with his crazy harebrained tax scheme in 2001.
Chuck G: I'm referring to his budget bill, which passed on August 7, 1993.
Sham: Appropriate name you got there. In two years, with no Republican votes, Clinton cut the deficit in half. With Newt and his fascist freaks in charge, it took four years to eliminate the other half. And speaking of "horny hicks," look up Newt's marital history.
