The tax cuts essentially can't have caused the more recent decline, it was obviously because of the recession.

C'mon Tim...I am going in circles with you here, I sense because you are out of arguments. The declines in 2009 and beyond came from a new LOWER baseline and yes in 2009 we see the effects of the recession...the lower baseline IS DUE of the tax cuts in 2001...

That might be a real simple point, so simple one might wonder why I bother to point it out, but you where disputing it.

Baloney...I never disputed it...
