The only Republican I'd give half a cent of credit to on economics would be be Bush Sr; for raising taxes which was the right thing to do at the time and it cost him the election. Not that I'm shedding any tears as it hardly makes up for the rest of his administration's policies.

Also, It started much earlier than Shrub. Saint Raygun started this crap. Though even Jimmy Carter was buying into deregulation to some extent in the late 70's.


The current crop will do their level best to impoverish the average person. Average being anyone not in the top .1%.
