If Bush Wins and The house is GOP...

Gracie Dean · 11-02-2000, 10:24 AM

Then hold on to your money. We will be in recession within a year, schools will once again be lacking in funding (Remember Katsup as a Vegetable?) and We will also be in war.

Feel Free to cut and paste this. For posterity's sake.

Cool, not only will we be holding onto our money but the gov't will use the surpluss to give me even more of my own money back so that I can by things to improve my life and the life of my family.

Or we could elect Gore and watch that money trickle down through the buracracy and see pennies of the trillion dollars actually hit the people it was intended to help...

Hoover · 11-02-2000, 10:31 AM

What ever Pam. If Gore is elected and the House is DEM then we will see the size of Government grow so fast and large we would wish we were living in China. Bush is the safe choice, what's more safe, Adding to the size of Government, and Government Spending. Or giving the American people a tax cut? We will never see the end of a Gore Govenment program, once in place they never go away. On the other hand Bush's tax cut can be undone with a simple vote by the House and Senate if our Country faces hard times.

Hoover
Voting for Bush because its the safe choice.

Gracie Dean · 11-02-2000, 10:33 AM

I didn't say that I wanted the house to be dem. I believe that it should be opposite of the Executive Branch. That way they balance out.

I am in the Education field and Bush has done nothing or said anything to show his support for public education. In fact everything he has said or written has been AGAINST public schools.
Pam
Gore is the best Choice

Pam, you're being too pessimistic. Bush is a good guy. He is NOT, repeat, NOT Newt Gingrich. He is NOT going to tear apart our world.

I don't know if you've noticed the last six months or not, but we are already in something of a recession. You can thank that on Alan Greenspan and the Mideast turmoil. If we had had a coherent foreign policy we could have avoided a lot of this.

Here's what is going to happen if Bush is elected: 1) Abortion laws will NOT change, regardless of how anyone feels; 2) There will be a tax cut of some kind; 3) Folks will be able to invest some of the SS funds; 4) There will be more savings programs for education and health that are tax deductible, 5) Foreign policy will be MUCH improved with capable folks like Cheney and Candoleeza Rice; 6) Bush will NOT use abortion as a litmus test for Supreme Court justices, but will seek for "strict constructionist" jurisprudence, and 7) the world will go on and life will go on...

Changes will NOT be as drastic as ads and fear-mongers want you to believe. LIfe will go on as it always has, and you may actually like some of the results...

Clint in Wichita · 11-02-2000, 10:37 AM

Morphius,

Remember "Trickle Down" Economics? We're gonna see it again.

Be ready for a barrage of "Payday #_ - no tax cut yet" posts from me for the next 4-8 years.

nmt1 · 11-02-2000, 10:37 AM

We're headed for a recession no matter who is elected. Contrary to what most liberals believe, the federal government does not control the business cycle. It can only influence it.
I will be holding my money offshore if Gore gets elected.

Gracie Dean · 11-02-2000, 10:37 AM

If Bush is elected then public schools will fall down, and we can all apply to private schools....YYYUUUUUUKK

Pam

The abortion issue SHOULD NOT BE an issue. it is no ones business.

I'd like to see your evidence for that, or are you just spouting what you heard on TV?

**morphius** · 11-02-2000, 10:41 AM

Clint - Tell me exactly, do you prefer the money to trickle down through the rich or would you prefer for your money to trickle down through the gov't.

My money comes from some people with lots of money and the gov't makes sure I don't walk home with all of it.

TheFly · 11-02-2000, 10:41 AM

Pam, Bush didn't let public schools fall down in Texas. They have made serious improvements there, in spite of all the immigration and language issues there.

Don't believe the rhetoric.

Also, I agree, abortion is a private matter... a great moral and spiritual matter... between you, your family, and God... and that's where it ought to stay...

I also believe that the Supreme Court really had no CONSTITUTIONAL basis for any decision regarding abortion...

nmt1 · 11-02-2000, 10:42 AM

BTW-why are so many schools still underfunded after eight years of 'one of the best presidents in the history of the country'? (Gore's words after Clinton was impeached in the House for lying under oath, a crime usually called perjury and usually punishable by jail time and a stiff fine)

Clint in Wichita · 11-02-2000, 10:43 AM

Fly,

A tax cut "of some kind" is worthless to me. If my paycheck doesn't increase, there has been no tax cut as far as I'm concerned.

TheFly · 11-02-2000, 10:44 AM

Clint, as far as the tax cut goes, I really don't care... It won't help me as much as I really need it... Too much haggling in Congress will keep any tax cut from really helping anyone...

But an education savings or a health savings would be a good start so I can help my family and my kids...
