Professional Left Podcast Episode #780: No Fair Remembering The Clinton Surplus



“The real question about the Bush tax cuts, then, is not, can we afford them? The real question is, Why are they so small?”
-- David "The Man Who Swore There Would Never Be Deficits Again" Brooks,

Ep 780: No Fair Remembering The Clinton Surplus

February 20, 2024

Republicans cut taxes for their rich donors when they're in the White House, and flip out about "the deficit" when a Democrat takes the presidency.   Join us in the latest episode of No Fair Remembering Stuff as we dive into the historical significance of the Clinton Surplus and the enduring trend of Republicans' unwavering love for tax cuts, regardless of their claim of concern over "deficits" when a Democratic priority is introduced. 

Don't miss this enlightening episode as we look back at the Clinton Surplus and the Republican Party's ongoing love for tax cuts for the rich.

physics: e=mc2, biology: reproductive fitness and in politics --gop is just about greed...
