This is not exactly true at all. Though, because it comes from one of your partisan-devoted posts in which your primary concern is to be abrasive for the team, nobody should be surprised.
Bush, through such legislation as the
1990 Budget Enforcement Act, and Clinton, through legislation like the
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, greatly helped lay the groundwork for the 1990s growth by putting sensible fiscal policy into place. Of course, trying to inject sensible fiscal policy is one of the reasons so many conservatives abandoned Bush's re-election bid, isn't it? And when it came to Clinton's Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, every Republican in Congress voted against the bill. Al Gore broke the tie in the Senate. It was from these two base-level efforts by Bush and Clinton, that fiscal responsibility came to be more than just a Republican talking point in Congress. Growth was low during the early 1990s, but the spending cuts continued even as the economy strengthened through the rest of the decade. New technology and new avenues of production and earnings also factored in. But fiscal responsibility was largely due to Clinton having to make deals with the GOP, such as DADT and the repeal of Glass-Steagall in 1999.
So, stop talking complete **** and pretending that you alone master "civics" as you pervert the hell out of well-known history so that you can skew it towards your GOP altar of worship. But what fascinates me is how shamelessly hypocritical you are. Here you want people to think that a GOP-led congress is why the 1990s looked the way it did. And then you boast on your mastery of "civics." Yet, you will refuse to see how the GOP-led congress from 2014 to 2016, as the documented "Party of No," eventually influenced the down-tick of 2016 before removing itself as an obstruction to the economy so that Trump could tell the people that he alone "fixed" the economy for 2017.
2010 - 2.5%
2012 - 2.5%
2014 - 2.2%
2015 - 2.9%
2016 - 1.9% (Thanks GOP....and civics.)
2017 - 2.3% (Were it not for GOP games affecting 2016, this would have been higher.)
And what have our GOP-led congress and Executive managed to do? They significantly cut government revenue (tax-cut) and greatly increased government spending. This is Reaganomics, you know, the kind of trash that created the 1% through the Trickle-Down fantasy. But you feel sorry for liberals who are so passionate about an ideology that they ignore how to research date and even basic civics? Nothing you do involves actual research, you regurgitate right-wing pundits. And your understanding of a civic clearly comes with four tires. Do yourself a favor and shut the absolute **** up.
