I'm not partisan. But I do understand arithmetic. I have no expectation that you will understand this but I'm going to repeat it for the tenth time on this thread. And we'll see.

Following is federal government revenue since just before the income tax came into existence:



The part you should focus on is just to the right of the line indicating "2000"; this is the sharp drop in revenue that resulted from the Clinton Recession followed by 9/11.

Note the STEEP increase in revenue immediately following the enactment of the "Bush Tax Cuts". A FULL 1/2% of GDP MORE REVENUE resulting from the Bush tax cuts. Of course, the recession in '07/08 caused a sharp drop in revenue, following by a fast recovery to near the levels produced by the Bush cuts.

So, if in fact, the Bush Tax Cuts cost $2 Trillion, using the above factual chart of federal revenue, please account for the $2 Trillion in the 8 year term of GWB, GIVEN that revenue increased EVERY SINGLE YEAR after the Bush tax cuts until the recession began in 07-08.

Explain that, you arithmetically incompetent nitwit.
