What happened from 2001 through 2006 is that our economy recovered from the Clinton recession and revenues to the Treasury, from the Bush tax rates, rose from $1.9 trillion (Clinton's last year) to $2.56 trillion in fiscal 2006. Even after the mortgage collapse, which was caused by liberal policies, revenues to the Treasury under the Bush tax rates remained at more than $2.2 trillion or more every year; 10% higher than Clinton's best year.

Quite right, but expect leftists to ignore these facts as they pursue their dream of a socialist utopia.
