You're going to have to take a look at the numbers again.
The real GDP increased about 2.7 percent in 1992-1993 and 4.02 percent in 1993-1994. In 1994-1995, it went up 2.5 percent and in 1995-1996 it went up by 3.70 percent.
Sorry, man. The numbers don't bear you out.
Bottom line is that the biggest myth out there is that republicans are good for the economy. Hell, man, the Great Depression took place on a republican's watch but they're supposed to be good for the economy?
I also like your "mindless following of the left's mantra" line. First, define "left." Second, what mantra is it that I'm allegedly mindlessly following?
As for the straightening out due to basic economic principles, why would it? If companies can save a few bucks by offshoring jobs or lowering wages to Wal-Mart levels, many of them will do it.
Hell, man. We're talking about airline wages and you can't tell me government getting out of the business of regulating airline operations didn't cause a lot of the pain we're seeing now unless you feel like lying to me. I know you don't.
