The only had a GOP full control Congress for two years. The rest of the time Democrats had the Senate....but even when Congress was controlled by the GOP the Dems still had a say. Remember the shared leadership Trent Lott allowed from 2004-06? In the interest of fostering bi-partisanship the GOP saw fit to allow Democrats to convene hearings and help make policies. Many bills were co-authored by Democrats.
The Republicans controlled both chambers of Congress from 2003 through 2006. They told you outright that they were going to devalue the dollar in their 2002 campaign by campaigning on tax cuts and increasing structural deficits. I bought the day after the election. It was one of three investment decisions I have ever made because of politics. It was very profitable.
Since when does a Congressional term last 3 years?
They never said anything about devaluing the dollar. Tax-cuts don't automatically mean inflation. In the last year Obama has decided to print $1.2 trillion dollars and give it to banks to induce them into loaning money. It's never gonna work because the risk is too great right now. All that's gonna happen is grocery bills are gonna go up and the Fat-cats are gonna shore up their portfolios.
He said THROUGH 2006.
Meaning that in January of 2007, the GOP control was over when the new congress was seated.
It was 4 years, not 2.
