The Pernicious ‘No Real Economic Progress’ Myth

If it’s true that everyone is doing better thanks to the economic policies of the Bush administration then all the Republicans have to do is tell all those who are doing better now than they were in 2000 to vote Republican and those who are doing worse should vote Democrat. What makes this strategy perfect is the Democratic Party has been saying the same thing since 2006.

But would somebody please tell me why the party that says it’s fiscally responsible is running a monster deficit? It seemed to start before 9/11 so that can’t be the cause and the Republicans controlled the House, Senate, and The White House between 2000-2006 so it’s hard to blame Democrats. Perhaps the Republicans only read half of Keynesian Economics 101. Funny, I’ve never heard a Republican say anything nice about Keynes.
