12 years of Bush Tax Cuts, Bailouts, Quantitative Easing;Where are the jobs?

Pointing out logical fallacy is not obfuscating. What it is, is pointing out logical fallacy. Which you seem to have nothing else here.

Post hoc ergo propter hoc.

But the policies were supposed to work. They were policies pushed on the grounds they would create jobs.

The tax cuts were supposed to boost the economy sufficiently to both create jobs, increase revenue, and balance the budget.

There's no "logical fallacy".

We had real low tax rates and low regulations prior to FDR.

We also had some pretty crappy living standards.

This country became the gold standard after FDR..and the economy, living standard and just about everything soared until Reagan.

With the notable exception of Clinton..the standard of living has been on a downward slide ever since.

Except, of course, for Billionaires.

We are number one with a bullet for those folks.

This repeating isn't make the argument any more logical.

This repeating isn't make the argument any more logical.

The argument FOR the policies was that they would boost the economy, increase revenues, balance the budget, create jobs.

It's not an ad hoc fallacy to point out the failure of those promises.

 

[TakeAStepBack]

It is if you understand that tax cuts, QE and bailouts don't stimulate the economy alone. It takes an overall fiscal/monetary/economic policy to make that happen.

It's not "because this, then this." Or Post hoc ergo propter hoc.

Only people that believe politicians would repeat such nonsense.

So people who say that the Reagan and Bush tax cuts increased revenues are committing a post hoc fallacy?

I've been telling them that for years.

 

[TakeAStepBack]

No, there is a founded basis that federal revenue increased when taxes were cut.

There is no founding basis that QE, Bailouts and tax cuts create jobs.

why they are drawn to historically failed ideas is the mystery

You'd have to ask them. Bailouts and currency debasement are historically failed ideas. But you cheer for them. Are you sure you know which ideas are failures?

LAIR!!!!

Hell Splatters still thinks FDR's policies ended the GD.

Asswipe...the mortgage industry and banking industry problems hurt the economy, thus cost jobs left and right.

Now you dumbfucks are in charge regulating fossil fuel companies into the ground over "saving the planet," which is costing jobs and driving up energy costs. Guess what, dumbfuck....those higher energy costs hurt the economy overall which costs even more jobs in other sectors.

Of course, your answer is to raise taxes so that Obamination can blow more money on his friends that don't create jobs because you are an insane idiot.

If you stole all the money from the Top 10 American Billionaires....you'd pay for the Federal Govt for close to 2 fucking weeks, you stupid pile of shit. 2 fucking weeks....

For 12 years the "job creators" got every single thing they wanted. Low taxes, ease on regulations, changes in overtime rules, bailouts, quantitative easing..and what do we have?

Stagnant wages, high unemployment, and..

A record number of billionaires!

Why is that?

Going to score the verbal gymnastics used to explain it.

The more rich the better

...you are aware that there's a finite amount of wealth which means the more billionares, the more people in the middle and bottom are getting fucked.
