Well, what can I say, I guess I'm just the kinda guy who enjoys taking sides.

Actually, you may want to consider taking some of your own advice where Enron is concerned.  Enron actually had a much cozier relationship with the Clinton administration, whose Energy Department was including Enron officials in policy discussions long before Bush and Cheney ever took office.  In fact, Enron's largest-ever single cash donation was to the Democrat party when Clinton was up for re-election in 1996.

Secondly, tax cuts don't cause deficits--spending causes deficits.  On the contrary, revenue to the Treasury increased sharply in 2005 and actually reduced the projected deficit by almost $100 billion, despite record spending.  The economy gained just over 300,000 jobs in the year-and-a-half following the 2003 tax cuts and added another 5 million in the two years after that.  Hardly what I'd call a "jobless recovery".  Even now, unemployment is hovering around 6%, which is pretty good for an economic downturn.  And the tax cuts have actually shifted more of the tax burden toward the wealthy.

Bush may not be a fiscal conservative, but once in a while he does get it right.

Scott Perry
