Whatever, bro
John Kasich sure has a convenient memory. Asked about how he'd respond to Hillary Clinton's presumptive attacks, Kasich mentioned his father was a mailman (drink!), then digressed to talking about balanced budgets:
I was the chairman of the budget committee and the lead architect the last time it happened in Washington, and when we did it, we had great economic growth, we cut taxes, and we had a big surplus.
Oh yeah, mofo? You know what
else led to that balanced budget in the late 1990s? Bill Clinton's tax hikes in 1993, which Republicans absolutely howled would destroy this country. Of course they were wrong, and they helped usher in an unprecedented era of growth and prosperity.
Kasich, of course, wants to take credit for all that while conveniently ignoring a key reason it was able to happen in the first place. Typical Republican. If he's the nominee (I kid, I kid!), Clinton should eat him alive on this.
