Do you neoncon fluffers ever get tired of puckering up? Yeah, that chart shows great progress the past 7 years. :roll:

If that chart is accurate, the average poverty rate under Bush is lower than it was under Clinton. According to "Billary fluffers" or whatever variety of genital suckling sheep you fancy yourself, everything has gone to hell under Bush and the country is on it's way into a depression.

Seems to me that facts indicate the country has pretty much carried on as usual under Bush, economically speaking.

Yeah, that is how the chart reads. :cookie: 1993-2000 rate goes down from what Clinton inherited from Bush Sr from 15 to 11. Bush takes over, rate goes up but not to the levels it was when Bush Sr. left office so that is good news for Bush fanbois and is actually BETTER than how Clinton's term affected the numbers. Nice retarded neocon logic there, didn't expect anymore from one of the lead fluffers.

Notice, in light of how the right loves to say the war on poverty did not work, hot the years preceding it were in the 22's and 21's, numbers we've never come close to since; and how in the decade following the war on poverty, under LBJ, the numbers are all in the 11's and 12's; and how they first started rising to the 14's and up again the first year of Reagan?

Clinton may have had relatively high rates - because he took the high and increasing rates from republicans still having an effect early in his presidency in the 14's and 15's, and then decreased the rate ever year of his last 5 years, bsck down to the 11's for the first time since Carter; and then GWB has reversed the downward trend immediately in his presidency, keeping it in the 12's, which is actually not as bad as one would expect.
