What is happening in 2009 and 2010 is a virtual repeat of what happened in 1993 and 1994. Much of the same language, same charges — inexperienced, arrogant — much of the same rhetoric and the very same actions. The economic plan Bill Clinton offered and passed in 1993 that set the country on a successful course of deficit reduction did not receive a single GOP vote. The GOP warned of disastrous consequences, economic meltdown, etc.,
In a private meeting, Minority Leader Bob Dole told Clinton that the Republicans intended to blame the Democrats for the economy in the 94 elections and win a majority.
They did. But, as we all know, they were wrong. It was Clinton’s economic plan that stopped the recession from getting worse after 12 years of Reagan/Bush deficits.
The GOP is repeating the same campaign because it worked in 94.
