Here's the Spin

October 30, 2003 Posted by John at 7:41 PM

The New York Times admits that today's great economic news "gave Mr. Bush and his party a compelling piece of evidence to back their assertions that they have put the nation back on the road to prosperity a year before Election Day." Earlier today I wondered what the Dem spin would be. Here it is, from troglodyte Democratic Senator Kent Conrad:

"The president's policy, as I see it, props up the economy in the short-term, but the growth of deficits and debt under his plan undermines economic growth in the long-term. It's a little like a drunk going on a binge. It feels good for awhile, but you all know the hangover is coming."

Gosh, that description reminds me a bit of...the late 1990's.
