Bush Bashes “Spendicrats”
President Bush offered his opinion that the state of the economy is unclear, but whatever Democrats were planning to do about it was wrong.
Seriously. I couldn’t make this stuff up: “recent economic indicators are increasingly mixed,” he said [via NYT]. More from the NYT story: Mr. Bush is sticking to the theme of warning against doing anything that would harm the economy at a precarious time. He emphasized that Democrats should not increase wasteful spending or raise taxes, and that they should pass three pending trade agreements to boost the export sector, which right now is the strongest part of the economy.
When asked what Bush himself would do, his staff gave a characteristic response: ask us again when we get back from an eight-day tour of the middle east.
