I was watching Glen Beck on Headline News 6 months ago when on my honeymoon (ok, I know you're saying "what are you doing wasting your time watching CNN on your honeymoon, but my wife was in the shower, and when you're in Mexico and the only English programming is MTV, some outdated TV show I'd rather not watch, and CNN, well, you know...), and he was basically arguing the liberals' viewpoint of how Bush's economic "tax-cut" policy has us 260 billion in the red. Beck then said liberals are not painting the true picture, because after giving the tax cuts a full year to work, the deficit was actually down something like 200%. This is because people had more money to spend at the stores, which grew the economy, which increased the amount of money that businesses could be taxed, giving the government more money. Beck further said the media would never report something like that because they then would look hypocritical for criticizing Bush's tax-cut policies.
Anyone who thinks that the tax cuts are not working and are bad for the economy needs to actually look at the economy. Unemployment is under 5%. The Dow Jones is at record highs. Yes, oil prices are through the roof, but if that's what you're comparing the economy on, adjusted for inflation gas prices are comparable to what they were before the energy crisis in the mid 70s. I know there are a lot of people that say that Clinton had this great economic policy and the economy grew like crazy under him, but people forgot one thing - he got incredibly lucky. What do I mean? The internet and E-commerce skyrocketed under Clinton's watch, and collapsed just as Bush was taking over. So basically, you could say that Bush's economic policies have been successful in spite of the collapse of E-commerce and 9/11.
Do I support Bush? Not 100%. Iraq and Afghanistan could have been handled much better than it has been. If not for for Iraq, we could be focusing on the REAL problems - North Korea and Iran. But Bush has done well for the hand that has been dealt to him. I know a lot of people now are calling him "the worst President ever," but 25 years from now I highly doubt that will be his legacy (weren't people calling Nixon that a long time ago?).
