House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas) today questioned former President Bill Clinton's credit-taking for the economic success of the 1990s and suggested the true credit for the 1990s' economic recovery belongs to President Ronald Reagan and the Republican Congress after 1995.
"If Bill Clinton created 22 million new jobs in the 1990s, then I'm the Easter Bunny," DeLay said.
"He came into office promising a tax cut and instead rammed the largest tax hike in American history through a Democrat Congress. The American people subsequently fired that Congress and installed the first Republican Congressional majority in 40 years, because those liberal policies were simply a thing of the past," DeLay said.
"The economic boom of the 1990s was the peace dividend for our victory in the Cold War, made possible by the national defense policies of Ronald Reagan, sustained by the fiscal discipline imposed by a Republican Congress, and created by the will of the American people. Mr. Clinton still thinks everything is about him, which has been the problem all along."
Stay focused guys, this is what they want...Republicans wasting time on a guy who isn't running.
John Kerry Delenda Est!
