So the housing crash during the Bush administration had absolutely nothing to do with Democrats and legislation during the Clinton administration? The rise in utility costs had nothing to do with Clinton signing legislation during his last 3 days of his presidency to deregulate the utility companies? Jobs leaving during the Bush administration had nothing to do with Clinton's honoring of a World Trade agreement?
I do not believe in crediting the Dems for all of our woes TM Not at all. Repubs stick it in our asses too but Geez, you gotta give credit where it is due. Your one sidedness is why your posts hurt my eyes so much.
Heres teh deal, those things Clinton did like deregulation were what the Republicans had worked for for decades. Then once in office and in complete control of the wheels of governemetn they DID NOTHING when the bad effects of their OWN IDEAS were materializing. They sat and drooled over war while the insurance cos screwed us , while the housing mess became untenable , while Americans became poor and poorer and more mired in personal debt.
When you run the show for 6 years without any help you get to have the burrden of what you failed to fix as well as the burden for what you did do.
Call me after six years of Obama and a democratic controlled congess and we can compare notes on who did what.
