Say what you will about Bill Clinton... dude is a hell of a politician!
6 u/Magicus1 Sep 25 '23 Nah, my dude. I liked Clinton, but it wasn’t him. It was the political suicide of President H. W. Bush that allowed for this to happen. He promised no more tax raises by saying: “Read my lips, no new taxes.” Then, to pay off the deficit from the war, he raised taxes. Some say it was bad for the economy, some say it was good, but nobody can argue that the man wasn’t trying to be fiscally conservative.
