You will notice the market began to soar under Ronald Reagan, not George Bush, not Bill Clinton. George Bush inherited the boom and blew it. By cutting the 1990 tax increase deal with his Democrat “friends” he made himself a one-termer. He could’ve just sat there and done nothing and been reelected. Democrats turned on Bush, blaming him for the tax increase they wanted (but wouldn’t admit publicly). As they say, nice guy but clueless. Clinton did nothing for the economy but was given credit for the boom, of course, by the liberal media. Clinton, the shameless huckster, claims it was he who gave us the economic boom, lying as always.

Please answer this question: Why do “conservative” Republicans vote for foreign aid?
Don’t forget: every Democrat in the U.S. Senate voted for Obamacare, even though all polls showed a majority of Americans opposed the plan. Every Republican voted the right way, even the liberal Republicans.
There are no conservative Democrats in Congress, no matter what big media claim.
