I havn't researched Anthony's historical statements (the first link above), but he leaves something to be desired as a prognosticator;

"The onset of another recession will further affect wages and median family income. It also significantly will reduce tax revenues and add to a federal deficit which already will begin a steep upward trend in 1997. Four years after Clinton's historic retroactive tax increase, the epitaph of Clintonomics can be written: It was nothing more than a risky tax scheme that will blow a hole in the budget deficit."
