Well, you are repeating the Republicrook line verbatim. Hey, somebody has to believe that crap. But the GOP never answers the question of why the lower rates did not increase jobs, and lower rates have never increased jobs, and those pesky deficits just seem to follow around the tax handouts like mosquitoes follow a man covered in bacon grease.

In 2007 (i.e. 4 years after the Bush 2033 tax cuts), we had 5% unemployment and the Federal deficit was $160 billion - as opposed to today's 9% or 10% unemployment (really closer to 20% when you count the long-term unemployed) and $1.6 trillion deficit.

Hey, can I have the "Republicrook" results back? I liked them better.
