Feeling Nostalgic? While the US heads to a 490B deficit, let us remember candidate Bush in 2000

Warning-be careful when reading this while drinking beverages-

Budget/Use Of The Surplus
The federal government is expected to run a surplus of nearly $5 trillion during the next ten years. Governor Bush has proposed a balanced economic program that will use the surplus to prepare for the future, dedicating: half to saving Social Security by establishing personal retirement accounts and reducing the debt held by the public; one-quarter for pro-growth tax cuts; and the remainder to reform education, strengthen Medicare, and support other priorities. As President, Governor Bush will bring taxes down from their record high level and pay the debt down to a historically low level.

and lets not forget his energy plan


Energy
“America must have an energy policy that plans for the future, but meets the needs of today. I believe that we can develop our natural resources and protect our environment. We are paying a steep price for seven and a half years without an energy policy.” – Governor George W. Bush

1. Oh but 9/11 is what the righties would say about the surplus

It was planned all along to give that surplus to the cronies. They got that and more.

Fortunately they did not get their Social Security destruction plan in place considering what has happened to investments.

Lowering taxes was only for the wealthiest among us. Not all Americans are entitled to tax relief.

And on Energy, an oil man in charge of energy is like turning a kid loose in a candy store.
