Article content

Article copy

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.

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.
Okay. Enough with the sophisticated European patricians.

I want a boorish cowboy such as this one for President. And I want him Now.

A peine 5 minutes après avoir posté l'article précédent à la fin duquel je notais brièvement que Bastiat était loin d'être aussi ignoré au Texas (et, je crois, dans le reste des Etats-Unis en général) que dans son propre pays, je suis tombé là-dessus :



Oui, c'est exact. Le blog officiel Bush/Cheney 2004. Peut être pas une bien grande nouvelle pour vous, mais je n'en avais pas entendu parler auparavant (Ouais, je sais que j'ai été un peu en retrait dernièrement mais merci de m'avoir informé. Quel genre d'ami êtes-vous bordel ?)

Quoi qu'il en soit, le post d'aujourd'hui cite le New Hampshire Sunday News, qui lui-même cite le Président Bush:
Alors que notre économie commence à repartir, certains disent qu'il est temps désormais d'augmenter les impôts. Pour être juste, ils pensent qu'il est temps d'augmenter les impôts tout le temps,Ӕ a plaisanté [le Président]. Au moins, ils ont de la constance. Mais je diffère fortement. Une nation ne peut pas tailler son chemin vers la croissance et la création d'emploi à coups de taxes. Les allègements d'impôts ont mis cette nation sur le bon chemin et j'ai l'intention de la garder sur la voie de la prospérité.Ӕ

Les résultats de la fin de l'été et du début de l'automne confirment cela. La consommation augmente, ainsi que la création d'emplois.

Pour illustrer son argument localement, le Président a mentionné Brian Stowell de Claremont, dont la famille possède l'entreprise d'ébénisterie Crown Point. Bush a relaté avoir entendu dire par Stowell que les réductions d'impôt avaient permis à sa famille de réinvestir dans l'entreprise familiale au point de pouvoir embaucher 25 nouveaux employés.
Ok. Assez avec les patriciens européens sophistiqués.

Je veux un rustre cow-boy tel celui-là comme Président. Et je le veux maintenant.

I don't like the idea of deficit spending , but I remember Sgt. Shroeder from my company. He borrowed money from everybody in the unit. His theory being when we went to war , everyone would be looking out for Shroeder to insure we got paid back. Same principal keeps Donald Trump solvent. He borrowed more money then the banks could write off , in effect they are business partners now.

This Schroder person sounds very shrewd, but I think you only see half of the idea- anyone who got killed before they were paid back was unlikely to collect on the debt.
