Chairman Kent Conrad (D-ND) and Deceptive Economic Graphs - Textbook Deception with Facts

Senator Kent Conrad (D-ND) has already been exposed for intentionally misrepresenting material facts about the 2001 CBO report that, according to the assumptions in the report, projected a $5.6 trillion budget surplus over the next 10 years. Now you can see how Chairman Conrad uses temporary spikes in revenues and historic lows in outlays in graphs for comparisons to the budget activity of the Bush administration. With the inclusion of more years, the facts contained in Chairman Conrad's graphs further exposes the temporary Clinton economy. http://www.reportcard2000.com

Why do you have to resort to personnal attacks? The use of statistics is always condusive to deception. I simply point out how the year 2000 is an anomaly, based on 50 years of historical data, and you have to resort to personal attacks.

@reportcard2000 It wouldn't have been temporary were bush to concede the vote or stayed the course of what Clinton had laid out. That he didn't is why we're now screwed. You want to talk about deception, why not talk about what his brother was doing in China when these wars started up? Neil Bush, the same one busted for insider trading during savings and loan scandal. Is it any wonder why China's economy has been falling dramatically this year while Japan's profit margin has skyrocketed? Yo Joe!

@Mysterwright The Clinton favorable economy was based on the temporary dotcom boom , the stock market capital gains taxes, low defense spending. By April 2000 unemployment was rising and the NASDAQ was headed south. If you read the January 2001 CBO 10 year budget and economic outlook projection, you will see the CBO made two critical points. 1) If temporary events (see above) stop, we could see deficits without policy changes. 2) Retiring baby-boomers are going to overwhelm ous in debt.

Maybe he uses the year 2000 because George Bush wasn't elected in 1990, retard. He was elected in 2000, he has nothing to do with the 1990's or "historical averages." Go home.
