"The tax cuts enacted in 2001 and 2003, known as the Bush tax cuts, are set to expire Dec. 31, and the fight over what to do is increasingly heated. Should the tax cuts expire, as some Democrats have said? Should they be extended, as most Republicans maintain? Or does the answer lie somewhere in between, as the Obama administration, led by Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, has argued in recent weeks?"
"President Obama on Wednesday will make clear that he opposes any compromise that would extend the Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthy beyond this year, officials said, adding a populist twist to an election-season economic package that is otherwise designed to entice support from big businesses and their Republican allies."
Anyone....anyone....???

One may be because you get peope to keep more money, but not control what they do with it. Maybe people saved it, as oppossed to spend it. Maybe spent more than can afford anyway.
Let's ask a different question. Do you think people having less money (via expiration of tax cuts) will help the economy?

That's an awful-lot o' maybes.
Republicans always insist tax-cuts are the SLAM-DUNK to improve our economy....and, they never mentioned any maybes.

No....I prefer to ask what happened to that Guaranteed-outcome to tax-cuts......'cause we already KNOW what happens with the original-rates.
Why hasn't it worked YET?
What part of the last eight years did you miss?

Agreed......we SHOULD-have seen it COMING.........
LOL, do not expect an honest answer to this question; for those who truly believe tax cuts are the panacea for all ills - and there are some on the MB - challenging the dogma they hold so close to their heart will cause an emotional retort, usually a personal attack.

The only way it (tax cuts) work is if you cut spending at the same time. Bush did not, and we are now paying for it. The Chinese pretty much own us now.
I'm not in favor of taxes, but if the government is spending money on supporting military forces around the world, subsidizing health care, bailing out businesses, and building infrastructure then the means have to come from somewhere.

You unemployment table is interesting because it shows a long term trend:
Was the unemployment rate higher or lower at the END of their term?
Truman, dem LOWER
Eisenhower, rep HIGHER
Kennedy, dem LOWER
Johnson dem LOWER
Nixon rep HIGHER
Ford rep HIGHER
Reagan rep LOWER
Bush 1 rep HIGHER
Clinton dem LOWER
Bush 2 rep HIGHER
I suspect Obama will carry on the tradition
Care to comment?
