Conservatives really have blown the economy. Clinton didn't really do anything, but the republican idea heralded originally by Laffer that somehow cutting taxes would increase government revenue has been a clear failure that has a lot to do with the devaluation of the dollar. Boo. I am sick of republicans taking out loans and calling them "tax cuts". Somehow much of the public is OK with massive deficit spending. I'm not saying the Dem's are good with the economy (not at all, Clinton for example had the opportunity to--gasp--save or invest for our future, the correct Keynesian move) but wow did Bush Sr. and Reagan fuck us.
