During the Cheney/Bush administration ALL the repugs could say was ...."But CLINTON" ( do a search just here in CD...)....everything was Clinton's fault(but not that SURPLUS, oh, no that was...oh., let's pretend there wasn't one!)

I don't think most people would, but in a way, that is the choice coming up in the next few elections. Do we go back to the Bush economic policies, or do we forge ahead with the current one?
In any case, if you are pulling for the GOP, I can see why you'd be nervous whenever Bush's name comes up. I don't see much desire to return to that administration, outside of the members of the GOP. So this is just an infrequent smart move by the Dems, to remind everyone what the two options are.
Running against unpopularity?
Name a Bush economic policy and how it failed.
I'll wait.
See, that strategy works fine until they actually have to explain what the policies were and how they negatively impacted the economy.
Oh, and one other thing...
The Democrats have controlled Congress for more than three years and the entire federal government for almost two. If the "Bush policies" have not been changed in that time, they are Obama policies and Democrat policies.

The thing is that you ask a liberal about which of Bush's economic policies failed and caused our problems and they give you some MSM fog like rhetoric about how he caused all of our problems but there is nothing substantive. They always bring up the war and of course we all know that a President cannot order a war and does not have the authority to do so. But if it is the cost of the war that we are worried about, why is the Spending Bill that Obama and his cronies passed a good thing?
When it comes down to the Bush tax Cuts, these were a good thing. And the cost of entitlement programs makes the tax cuts look minuscule. Why not cut these?
What about Federal salaries? The average wage of a government employee is 123K according to USA Today. Lets reduce these salaries to be more in line with the private sector and save some money that way. After all, the private sector is the one paying for these salaries.
Bush spent like a liberal in his time in office and I cannot accept that. But for Obama to say that we will revert back to these failed policies when he has introduced the most devastating spending in our countries history with nothing to show for it, it is hypocritical. Again, it just goes to show that the democrats are clutching at straws and have absolutely zero successes to hang their hat on.
Mo, please don't hold your breath waiting for an answer to these things. You may cut off oxygen to you brain and turn into a liberal.

They have high salaries because the federal employees unions are growing, and the democrats know that the more money they pay in federal salaries, the more money their unions have to contribute to their campaigns, and the more pro-democrat TV ads and the more anti-republican attack ads they will run.
The $26 billion state aid bill, that Pelosi is calling congress back into session to vote on, is just more money to state employee unions, so they can run campaign ads for democrats, in time for the November elections.
We need to prohibit state and federal employees from joining unions, and ban unions from engaging in any form of politics.

hey it is only 26 billion which is a drop in the bucket compared to the debt we already have. Plus Obama said it is already paid for so it must be!!
