Steve, the clinton defender, lies all the time ... apparently he has decided to announce it as the preface to his posts now.

BTW, I don't think the CBO is quite a nonpartisan source nor do I think their numbers are reliable... This is laughably stupid and ignorant on your part. But if you don't care for the CBO's budget data, take it from OMB: whitehouse.gov It'll show you exactly the same thing: Federal revenue grows virtually every single year. Virtually every single year is an all time high. Every year under Carter was an all time high. Every year under Clinton was an all time high. Revenue grew faster under Carter than under Reagan and revenue growth has been substandard under Bush. Revenue actually went down after Reagan's tax cut. And it went down for 3 years in a row under Bush. Revenue went up after Reagan signed some of the biggest tax increases of all time in 1982 and 1983. Revenue went up after Clinton raised taxes (setting records every year) until Bush became President and revenue went down. Like i told Tonto: Don't be such a dumbass, look it up for yourself. It's public information, straight from the Whitehouse. SD

don't think Tonto said the effects of tax cuts were immediate on revenue. What if i told you that every time i take money out of my bank account my balance went up? You might say, "well i looked at your statement and your balance goes down after you take money out." And then i'd say, "Well i didn't say how long it takes. But every time i take money out of my bank account, after some time goes by, i have more money than when i started, therefore taking money out of my account causes my balance to go up." Wouldn't you think that was one of the stupidest things you ever heard? What if i told you about the theory where people with lots of money in their bank account don't work very hard because they feel financially secure. But if they take money out of their account that makes them work harder and earn more. Would that makes it a valid theory? SD
