What’s in John Snow’s Coffee?

By Right Fools
From: Economics Table

Who, Clinton or Bush II, will be viewed as more fiscally resonsible?

This is from a story from Bloomberg:

Says Treasury Secretary John Snow: It’s his boss, Bush.

Sipping a latte at a Starbucks coffee shop with reporters in Washington two days ago, he said that `wp_posts`the president’s legacy will be one of having significantly reduced the deficit in his time,” and said Clinton’s budget was a “mirage” and “wasn’t a real surplus.”

He explained that Clinton’s surplus was based on historically high capital gains receipts. If that is correct, SO?

I believe we have a REAL deficit now!

I also saw in another story that Snow touted 4.4 million new jobs have been created since May, 2003. He conveniently ignored the 2.6 million jobs lost in Bush’s first two years.

Another budding novelist in the Bush Administration.

Coffee? With a statement like “having significantly reduced the deficit in his time” with all the evidence pointing to the contrary, the guy must be smoking some damn good cheeba.
