The economy is not booming but it is sound and growing. Emmet Tyrell says we are cowed by liberal rhetoric and can’t get this economic message out.
Did I say growing? Yes I did, but the Republicans cannot talk about the growing economy because if they did it would sound as though they had no compassion for those who are not doing particularly well in this economy. This is a rhetorical trick that the Democrats have imposed on the Republicans. So effective has it been in cowing the Republicans that quite possibly never again will a sitting president be able to boast of a record of economic achievement.
Is this another case of the “big lie” gaining traction?
Actually if you look at the cyclical nature of the Economy. It was on a rise last few months of Bush Sr’s run after he took us to war. 8 years later it was down at the last few months of the Clinton run which we didn’t go to War, and 8 years later its rising in the last 2 months of Bush Jr.s run, while we are at war.
Boy those circles…
