<< "Economics is not a laboratory science like chemistry. We usually can't run controlled experiments and isolate the effect of any particular factor," says Benjamin Friedman, a Harvard economics professor who specializes in government spending and taxes. "There were so many things going on over the past few years. Disentangling them is extremely difficult — almost impossible."

While this statement is probably true, it sounds like a statement from someone who knows perfectly well that the tax cuts pushed for by Bush and enacted by the Congress were a major factor in the economic rebound, yet is reluctant to give them any credit for same.
