Presidents need to think big. Short term fixes create a pendulum effect, long
term changes have long term impacts.

Nobel winners attack Bush economics
"Regardless of how one views the specifics of the Bush plan, there is wide
agreement that its purpose is a permanent change in the tax structure and not
the creation of jobs and growth in the near term," the economists said in a
statement published by the Economic Policy Institute.

I guess all the economists are wrong too. If it were not for that damn
Bush:
1 All of the world's ills would be cured.
2. All of the excesses of the 90's would have retroactively
disappeared,
3. All of those BAD business people who quickly realized that BUSH was
lax on businesses would not have been able to implement evil business
practices SO quickly that it appeared that they had been following them
since
the 90's
4. Business would be ignoring the lower cost of labor in other
countries
and would have continued to hire people who provided diminishing value for
the
love of country(sorry, God's out)
5. All of those foreigners who think that we suck would not be risking
life and limb to sneak into OUR country voluntarily work for, god forbid,
below minimum wage, and send huge amounts of their paltry earnings back to
their highly advantaged family who stayed home to live a life of luxury.
6. Yale's image would have remained untarnished
My bad.

Actually the statement that the economy is in a turnaround, is more pie in
the
sky. Jobs continue to be lost, prosecutions of those involved in business
fraud, and securities scams are still running at a less than enthusiastic
rate.
Our borders are still insecure. Non-Mexican illegal immigrants are still
released into the streets after capture by the INS. His energy and oil
patch
friends are still not being called to account for their mis-deeds. Our
reputation internationally has sunk to a historic low. But I do have to
credit
him for this, he still has a fanatic following, and the big bucks
