History Repeats?

An interesting explanation (besides the abundant media bias) why the Bush administration doesn't get as much credit for the economy as it should.

And as to media bias, answer this quiz:

Was U.S. economic growth higher during the time John Snow was Treasury Secretary, or during the time Robert Rubin was Treasury Secretary?

Answer is at the link.

"An economy has psychological or, if you will, spiritual, dimensions. A conviction of fairness, a feeling of not being totally on one's own, a sense of reasonable stability and predictability are all essential components of good economic performance. When they were missing in the 1870's, in the midst of a boom, the populace was brought to the brink of revolt."

Dunno who (if anyone) was to blame for the the lack of those things in the 1870's, but our illustrious gloom-and-doom MSM is responsible for a lot of it today.

However, we do have predictability: Anything and everything that goes wrong or can be made to look like it's going wrong is Bush's fault, according to the MSM. That's more predictable than the sun rising in the East tomorrow. :-(

Robert Rubin was growing the economy while managing
a budget surplus. John Snow grew GDP by borrowing a
Trillion dollars from the Chinese.
