"This is tax cuts, so help me God" - 1/6/2000, George W. Bush
Edited on Mon Nov-01-10 08:18 PM by zbdent
Full quote, before the above "clarification":

"If there's a recession it's important to cut taxes to make sure the economy grows. . . . It's also important to cut the taxes where there's times of plenty. . . . It's important to cut the taxes to make sure Washington, D.C., does not spend the surplus."

Hmm ... and here is where George W. Bush pointed out that his tax cuts would bilk the country's finances:

"To compensate the government for revenue lost to tax cuts, Bush's plan would draw from the budget surplus estimated to reach $4.56 trillion by 2010." (I added the emphasis)

1. George W Bush was entirely without honor and brough dishonor to this Nation.
The only thing that he did bring was this nation to the poor house.
