Umm why did the tax cuts stop working?
I don't quite agree. Since the norm for revenue is 19% historically its a matter of how big that gov. cut of 19% is. History shows lower taxes generate more revenue because that 19% is bigger due to higher economic activity.
spending dude, spending. theres plenty of guilt to go round btw, I am for one am not about to reward their asshattery ala spending with more of my dollars. Let them make the hard decisions for a change.
No history does not show that lower taxes generate more revenue. You are repeating a myth that has been tossed around for ages, and yet,
no one has ever been able to demonstrate that it's other than a myth.
Feel free to try though.
I already did, I posted the charts to said growth in another thread, feel to browse as I don't remember which one right now, the trends in the Clinton years and bush years too are unmistakable.
Umm why did the tax cuts stop working?
They never worked. You might as well say that Bush and Republicans' reinflating the deficits into triple digits were what stimulated the economy;
that would be just as arguable a point.
You make my diplomatic skills look good and even my late ASD banking geek mom thought my social skills sucked.we are all sorry. But our budget is 40% in the red. we are broke.
In the natural world the weak die and the strong survive. Be glad you are still alive. The alternative is far worse.
You do realize that your response was not germane to my post?
It sure seemed like it to me!
We need to cut bloated government salaries & benefits that are double the private sector so more teachers can be hired. Screw the public sector unions those salaries & benefits must be cut in half A.S.A.P. We need a large training effort to get job skills to match those needed by employers. We must tie unemployment benefits to job training, tech school, college etc.

I agree totally but Annie was venting not proposing policy changes. It has taken 33 years of marriage but I now spot really blatant venting that post was an example.You make my diplomatic skills look good and even my late ASD banking geek mom thought my social skills sucked.It sure seemed like it to me!
I was aware of that as I posted it.
We have an entitlement issue that we have to deal with.
The government does not owe you a job. Or the income you need to replace a paycheck. It sucks that people are unemployed. But the world may not provide you an easy solution like another job or a pension.
Why would it? Why would we expect it. In the natural world excess eaters are supposed to die. It happens every day in the wild, I see it in my own yard.
What is the goal of society? To keep everybody alive and well regardless of disability and no matter how fast they reproduce? Or something else?
Unchecked population growth is at odds with reality. The compromise between species reduction and a full on nanny state is a lot of poverty.
Which is still better than being dead.
While globalization exports wealth and industry over seas it imports poverty into the USA. Some of those 2 billion folks who live on $2/day will soon be Americans.

Why is it that the right wing always point their finger at working class Americans who are doing Ok? I'll give you government workers can have things a bit too nice, but why not everyone? Consider manufacturing has left for cheaper shores, outsourcing exists in all large companies and is growing, and Americans don't support American products - they cost too much - and that leaves us doing what exactly? I noticed more massage parlors have opened in recent years, seems we all need to find a job corporate America can't outsource for more bucks. Buy American, support Americans, and say so to the powers that be, then maybe you whiners will be quiet for a bit.
