Bill Clinton stepped up for President Obama’s brokered tax deal today. From the UPI<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Appearing with President Barack Obama, who said he brought “the other guy in” on a slow news day, Clinton said the tax compromise would be a “significant net-plus for the country.”<\/p>\n

“The agreement taken as a whole is, I believe, the best bipartisan agreement we can reach to help the largest number of Americans, and to maximize the chances that the economic recovery will accelerate and create more jobs, and to minimize the chances that it will slip back, which is what has happened in other financial collapses,”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Do you remember what Clinton said about the very same tax rates in 2005<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Ex-president Bill Clinton is blasting President Bush’s economic policies as “immoral” and “unethical,” saying he blames administration tax cuts for increasing hostility towards the U.S. around the world.<\/p>\n

“I hear all this talk about family values and all this stuff,” Clinton told an audience at the University of Minnesota on Saturday, before explaining how an old friend had been hurt by cuts in subsidies for Americans in need while the wealthy got tax cuts.<\/p>\n

“I resent it,” Clinton said, his voice rising in anger. “I think it’s immoral, I think it’s unethical.”<\/p>\n

“Nobody ever explains what the meaning of those tax cuts are,” he told the crowd. “So we’re going to give them their tax cuts first and then go ask the Chinese to loan us money to help save the lives of the young men and women we send into combat.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He went on to disparage them to George Stephanopoulos<\/a>;<\/p>\n

STEPHANOPOULOS: The president is not going to move. What do Democrats do?<\/p>\n

CLINTON: They should continue to oppose it, and they should make it an issue in the 2006 election, and they should make it an issue in the 2008 election. And they should hope, to goodness, for the sake of our country, that the cows don\u2019t come home before we have time to rectify it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Believe me, I’m all for maintaining or lowering the current tax rates, but then, I was for them in 2001. I wonder why all of a sudden they’re so important now and five years ago they were immoral. The only thing different is the party that the President belongs to now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
