1. * has lied before Day One about the state of the economy in order to
justify his "remedy" for it.

Here's the proof:
* made a contradiction during the third debate. He said that by the time he took office, he inherited a recession from the Clinton White House, and he had to do something quick. Hence the tax cuts.

But if you remember when he was campaigning and right after he took office, the economy was fine, there was a surplus, and therefore, no reason for the government to keep "your money". And we all got checks in the mail and the tax cuts went forth.

Now c'mon! Which is it? It doesn't matter because he lied in order to get those tax cuts.

And he's still lying and he wants those tax cuts to be permanent (although I don't see HOW, as a subsequent Congress could modify or abolish them altogether).
