right wingers were happy that he lowered their taxes by 3 %. Would any logical person rather have 35% more purchasing power or pay 3% more in taxes?

So it's Bush's fault the Treaty of Maastricht established the Euro in 1992?

The Fed is the central bank and the dollar has lost value since it's inception in 1913.
