Republicans have a poor understanding of economics. They should have no place in making policy

80 percent of economic experts agreed that, because of the stimulus, the U.S. unemployment rate was lower at the end of 2010 than it would have been otherwise.

Sure, blow $800 billion plus, you'll create some jobs.
Obozo could recommend $400 billion for digging holes with shovels and $400 billion for filling them in.
You'd create lots of jobs, and at the end you'd have nothing.
The question is, what did we produce for that $800 billion?

You mean thanks to fiscal responsibility of Prez Obama

I don't care who you are, that's funny right there!

despite listening to right wingers who wanted austerity (which other nations used

What is austerity and why do you think other nations are using it?

How many jobs did Dubya's tax cuts create again? lol

According to economists, the $787 billion was to stop US from going back into ANOTHER conservative (GOP) depression. It worked. How about tax cuts? lol

How many jobs did Dubya's tax cuts create again?

More than Obama's tax hikes.

the $787 billion was to stop US from going back into ANOTHER conservative (GOP) depression

Yeah, bailing out government employee unions was just what we needed to save our economy. LOL!

So no, in FACT Dubya lost 1+ million PRIVATE sector jobs in 8 years, even stopping Dec 31 2007, Dubya had the slowest growing economy Post WW2. Weird there have been 9+ million PRIVATE sector jobs created since Obamacares was passed in Feb 2009? Isn't that the tax increases? lol

Everything you posit is right wing crap. Period

Too bad conservatives get their economic education from Rush and Fox who parrot Heritage Foundation talking points.


Top 1% had 6%-9% of the PIE from 1945-1980 but TOOK 23% by 2007. Down to about 20% today




In 1980 the top 1% earned 8.5% of total income. In 2007 they earned 23%.

In 1980 the bottom 90% earned 68% of total income. In 2007 they earned 53%.

You mean when Dubya took US to the lowest level of fed tax revenues since the Korean war, and income tax share of it was a post WW2 low as a share of revenues? And the tax bite on those increased shares the 1%ers TOOK, shrunk by about 40% since 1980?

Non-Partisan Congressional Tax Report Debunks Core Conservative Economic Theory-


The conclusion?

Lowering the tax rates on the wealthy and top earners in America do not appear to have any impact on the nation’s economic growth.

This paragraph from the report says it all—

“The reduction in the top tax rates appears to be uncorrelated with saving, investment and productivity growth. The top tax rates appear to have little or no relation to the size of the economic pie. However, the top tax rate reductions appear to be associated with the increasing concentration of income at the top of the income distribution.”

If there's no one to buy the product supply is worthless.

Giving tax cuts to businesses doesn't create jobs. That's not how capitalism works.

No employer is going to hire someone to just stand around all day long doing nothing. No matter how many tax cuts that employer gets. That employer is only going to pocket the extra money. The only reason why an employer would hire new employees is that there's more work to do than the existing staff can handle in a regular work week. If that's happening that means the company is having more sales which means they're making more money and the last thing that employer needs is a tax cut.

Without that demand from customers, no business can stay open. Businesses aren't the only consumers in our economy and they certainly aren't enough to keep other businesses profitable.

Sure a farmer can buy all the equipment he wants but without customers to buy his crop, he goes bankrupt. Sure a store can be fully stocked with the latest goods and services but if they don't have customers to buy their goods and services that business closes.

Capitalism needs the free flow of money throughout the economy to work. The only way to make sure that happens is with living wages, taxes and regulations. Without it, all you end up with is monopolies and a destroyed economy.

Giving tax cuts to businesses doesn't create jobs. That's not how capitalism works.

Right, no businesses started up in Ireland, after they cut their corporate tax to 12.5%.

WHAT HAPPENED AGAIN?

Ireland s Road To Ruin ... and Ours

What happened? Lots of new business and jobs in Ireland.

Sure, that's why they crashed HARD.

They crashed hard because they lowered their tax rates and had a jobs boom years earlier?
I guess you can show the highest rate countries didn't crash hard?

Sure they did, NOTHING to do with a WORLD WIDE CREDIT BUBBLE AND BUST. All related to lowering Corp taxes *shaking head*, lol

From 1995 to 2000, GDP growth rate ranged between 7.8 and 11.5%; it then slowed to between 4.4 and 6.5% from 2001 to 2007.[18] During that period, the Irish GDP per capita rose dramatically to equal, then eventually surpass, that of all but one state in Western Europe.

Both political parties have their role to play in our economic system. The Republicans take office and soon a recession/depression starts, Democrats are then elected to rid America of the recession/depression and get the economy moving again. Then we elect Republicans and the whole schmear starts again.

I'm amused by Dad's whining that the poor pay more in local and State taxes than the wealthy do. Liberals LOVE to increase taxes on "sin" items like cigarettes, alcohol and lottery winnings...which are all things that low income people spend money on at a far greater rate than the wealthy do. The wealthy are brighter than the poor...hence they don't tend to smoke, drink alcohol or buy lottery tickets at a rate even CLOSE to that which the poor do.

You want the poor to pay less in taxes? Stop raising them on the things that they buy more of...Duh?

Both political parties have their role to play in our economic system. The Republicans take office and soon a recession/depression starts, Democrats are then elected to rid America of the recession/depression and get the economy moving again. Then we elect Republicans and the whole schmear starts again.

That's such an idiotic statement it amazes me that someone would embarrass themselves by making it.

Democrats get rid of recessions and depressions? You really believe that? Republicans are responsible for creating them? You really believe that?
