Eighteen years ago, the Clinton administration focused its efforts intently on improving economic conditions for ordinary Americans. As a result, during President Clinton's two terms from 1993 to 2001, employment in this country increased by 23 million jobs, far surpassing the rate of growth of the population.
During President George W. Bush's first term, there was zero job growth, while the population grew, resulting in a lower percentage of Americans employed than in 2001. By the end of President Bush's second term, the total of job increases during his eight years was 4.8 million. The Bush job increases fell significantly below the increase in population.
As soon as he became president, George W. Bush insisted that tax cuts would lead to more prosperity for Americans.
It didn't work then and it won't work now.
Why do we keep repeating failed experiments?
