Accuracy: Do
you have good reason to believe that the information on the site is
accurate? Are the facts documented? Identify a claim and use another
source of information on the web to verify the accuracy of the claim.
This article is more of a response to another columnist, so he refers to her writing. To verify those comments that he makes that have information, researching her writing would be required.
Claim:
"Harrop cites Bill Clinton, whose 1993 budget raised taxes and who,
despite warnings from Republicans, saw roughly 20 million jobs
(according to Harrop) created in his two terms."
Froma Harrop has columns that appear in over 150 newspapers and was a Loeb Award finalist for economic commentary in 2004 and again in 2011. This leads me to believe she knows something about the economy and may know about tax cuts.
Bill Clinton had the longest economic expansion in American history and 22 million jobs were created. So, this claim is correct.
