The Definition of Irony

From this a.m.'s NYTimes, a little-noticed fact:

"In 1993, President Bill Clinton raised taxes on upper-income families, the economy boomed and poverty fell for the next seven years. In 2001, President Bush cut taxes deeply, but even with economic growth, the poverty rate has risen every year since."
