Hardly 5 minutes after I posted the previous article, at the end of which I briefly mentioned that Bastiat was far from being as neglected in Texas (and I believe in the US as a whole) than he is in his own country, I stepped up on this:Yes, that's right. The official Bush/Cheney 2004 blog. Probably not a big news for you, but I never heard of it before (Yeah, I know I haven't been exactly on top of things lately but thanks for telling me really. What kind of friend are you dammit?)
Anyway, today's post is quoting the New Hampshire Sunday News, itself quoting President Bush:
Just as our economy is coming around, some are saying now is the time to raise taxes. To be fair, they think any time is a good time to raise taxes,Ӕ he [the President] joked. At least theyӒre consistent. But I strongly disagree. A nation cannot tax its way to growth or job creation. Tax relief has put this nation on the right path, and I intend to keep this nation on the path to prosperity.Okay. Enough with the sophisticated European patricians.
The economic numbers from late summer and early fall are bearing this out. Consumer spending is on the rise, as is job creation.
To make this point hit home, the President mentioned Brian Stowell of Claremont, whose family owns Crown Point Cabinetry. Bush said that Stowell told him the tax cuts have allowed his family to reinvest in the family business to the point that they will be able to hire 25 new employees.
I want a boorish cowboy such as this one for President. And I want him Now.
