Hey Dumbass: Tax-Cuts Don't Have To Be Paid For

[LibocalypseNow]

Btw,poverty levels were quite high when Bill Clinton was the President. The Wall Street Fat Cats did quite well during his Presidency but poverty levels were quite high. In fact this current Administration's poverty levels are the highest since Clinton's tenure. Little known facts that the usual suspects like to conveniently ignore. Trickle Up Poverty is this current Administration's legacy. Lets hurry up and get this "Correction Election" over with.

This current Administration's poverty levels are the highest since poverty record keeping began 50yrs ago. They are also the highest since Bill Clinton was the President. These are facts. You may not like them but thems are the facts.

Trickle Up Poverty. That's all the Hopey Changey Socialists/Progressives have brought to our nation. More Americans now live in poverty than has ever been recorded in the 50yrs of record-keeping. They just keep dragging us closer & closer to Third World Misery. Hopefully it will be a "Correction Election" coming in November. It is time for real change.

No, no, no, it is called "Flood the Basement" Economics and what I am beginning to believe is that it causes a lot of families to drown.

Trickle Down Economics and Flood the Basement Economics both may work at a given time based upon certain conditions. The trick is to identify those conditions and apply the proper techniques at any given time.

This is something that I think both sides seem not to understand.

Neither technique works 100% of the time and neither technique is wrong 100% of the time.

The current number of Americans living in poverty is at its highest level in the 50yrs of record keeping. This has happened under your Hopey Changey's watch. You can go ahead and try to blame others but it is what it is. Trickle Up Poverty is happening. You Hopey Changey Socialists/Progressives are the cause of this. Hopefully there will be a "Correction Election" in November. You guys gots to go. Nuff said.

Do you have any facts to support your argument rather then a ramble on paragraph of unsubstantiated facts? If you're going to say the democrats caused this then prove they did.

Many economists have said and proven that trickle down economics doesn't work and I'd take their word over you. Hell, the country seemed to prosper under Clinton and his so called "evil economic policies."

.....and a Republican controlled congress.

The GOP doesn't have a habit of screwing the President and us in the process even if he is a Democrat. They feel, unlike the Dems, that the needs of the country outweigh the needs of the party.

Witness the 07' Congress....sending protest bills to Bush's desk and raising hell about everything from WMDs to up-armored Humvees to peeling paint. All three issues are totally worthless.

Shhhh!

Liberals are hoping there are enough stupid people in the world that think like them.

I'd say there's sufficient-enough-data to cover stupidity, on "conservatives'" part.....

​

August 29, 1993​

"Two weeks ago, Time magazine published a picture of Ronald Reagan on its cover upside down, over the title 'Overturning The Reagan Era'. And for all its compromises, the budget plan the US adopted this month is the first real rejection of Reaganomics, the curiously irresponsible combination of tax cuts and spending rises that very nearly left the US Treasury issuing junk bonds of its own by the end of the 1980s.

After a decade of 'voodoo economics', wasteful military spending and the savings and loan bail-out, it has fallen to the next generation of taxpayers to restore the 'full faith and credit' of the US, and to Mr Clinton to distribute the pain.

If Mr Clinton is unpopular now on Wall Street, one can only imagine the reactions to such measures. But doing the right thing is proving as thankless a job on Wall Street as doing the opposite was wildly popular.

Most investment strategists believe that the economic stagnation that has accompanied austerity will soon force him away from deficit reduction. If he defies their expectations and maintains his fiscally responsible policies through to 1996, says David Shulman, chief equity strategist with Salomon Brothers in New York, 'Wall Street would build a statue in honour of Bill Clinton. But he still would not get its vote, nor Main Street's for that matter.'"

We've BEEN "HERE", before....ya' stupid, History-CHALLENGED TEABAGGERS!!!!!

​

Dude....meltdown must be a constant state for you. Reading your posts is like reading the posts of a 3 year old.

Relax, Muddy!!

Admit you're OUTTA AMMO, and run-along........

"If there's one thing that Republican politicians agree on, it's that slashing taxes brings the government more money. "You cut taxes, and the tax revenues increase," President Bush said in a speech last year. Keeping taxes low, Vice President Dick Cheney explained in a recent interview, "does produce more revenue for the Federal Government." Presidential candidate John McCain declared in March that "tax cuts ... as we all know, increase revenues." His rival Rudy Giuliani couldn't agree more. "I know that reducing taxes produces more revenues," he intones in a new TV ad.

If there's one thing that economists agree on, it's that these claims are false.

We're not talking just ivory-tower lefties. Virtually every economics Ph.D. who has worked in a prominent role in the Bush Administration acknowledges that the tax cuts enacted during the past six years have not paid for themselves--and were never intended to.

Harvard professor Greg Mankiw, chairman of Bush's Council of Economic Advisers from 2003 to 2005, even devotes a section of his best-selling economics textbook to debunking the claim that tax cuts increase revenues."

KILL-SHOT!!!!!

What's that? Proof that the Bush Tax Cuts didn't work? We're in the 8th and 6th years of Bush's 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, with consequent massive deficits,

and more people than ever are poor?

Was that Bush's plan? I don't remember Bush ever saying that was his plan...

...to cut taxes and run up the national debt in order to set poverty records.

Anyone remember Bush promising that ? lol

No it's happening UNDER BUSH'S TAX CUTS. Remember, the magic ones that guaranteed prosperity!!! lol

Maybe so but this current Administration's poverty level is the highest since Clinton's tenure. Clinton's poverty level may have gone down but it was still quite high. This current Administration's poverty level is also the highest level recorded in the 50yrs of poverty record keeping. Spin away if you like but it is what it is.

Clinton had a Republican Congress that forced him to balance the budget. Hopefully we'll have this same scenario after the November elections. My prediction is that if the Republicans take control of Congress,things will begin to get better for America. This all hinges on the Republicans regaining control of our Congress though. If that doesn't happen then all bets are off.

That's false. Republicans voted unanimously against Clinton's 93 budget, and deficits fell from that point on. PAYGO was also contributory. Congress had to conform to PAYGO until Bush and the Republicans let it expire in 2001, so they could go on their budget-busting spree.

 

[NYcarbineer]

So if my original post is wrong how am I right?

You're not right. You want to count the Obama stimulus tax cuts as a cost, but you don't want to count the Bush tax cuts as a cost.

Well a lot of the OBAMA stimulus Tax cuts, were actually tax credits. As in people getting money they never paid in. The Home buyer credit, Cash for clunkers, these things are not tax cuts per say. They are tax credits.

A person who bought a new house and got the 8 Grand tax credit. Could have done so while having an income low enough to not pay anywhere near 8 grand in taxes. Yet they got 8 grand in a tax credit just for buying a house.

Tax credits are tax cuts. One of the big budget busters in the Bush tax scheme was the child tax credit. That's what put tens of thousands of households into the zero federal income tax category.

Uncertainty is the cause of the poor economy.....not the Bush Tax Cuts. The fact that they're about to expire is whats scaring the hell out of everyone.....not to mention the simple fact that we have a radical in the White House that lies about everything. He and the Democrats cannot be trusted.

Jesus....what a bunch of crapola. Deficits fell because the GOP took over in 94' and got rid of Welfare and Clinton cut the military.

Btw,Hopey Changey himself supports Tax Cuts. He has in the past anyway. I'm not sure where he stands today though. He does seem to waffle a lot on everything. So if you support Hopey Changey,you also support Tax Cuts. Most of his sheep are unfortunately too dumb to realize what they're actually supporting from day to day. All they know is..."DAT BOOOOOOOOOOSH!!!!" Not very intelligent people for the most part.
