Again, I never said what Republican Presidents and their parties were doing was financially responsible. Stop putting words in my mouth. You argue like a child. I'm simply stating that under the Cinton's administration, the majority of his economic advisory board had conservative views, i.e. Joseph Stiglitz. Also, Austan Goolsbee, along with others, whose recommendations (which mimic Clinton's administration) are deinied by the Presidential platform from the Democratic party. He himself even said the current plan supported by the Democratic Party will not be affective.
No, you were just saying that something besides it was responsible.
So we're agreed on the fact that they have, throughout the years, been financially irresponsible?
And that would be convincing.... If it wasn't being effective. If the deficit wasn't going down. If the unemployment rate wasn't going down.
If, you know, Clinton hadn't come out with a great speech detailing the math revolving around it.
Could things be better?
Yes. There's pretty much always room for improvement, as perfection is more or less beyond us.
What are the odds for it getting better under Romney?
Looking at the past and what you can tell of his plan, extremely low.
