Re: " What you said amounted to the same thing," No. Well you get the last word on that. Not much point in us saying "yes", "no", "yes" back and forth at each other all week. Re: "but rather than continuing to harp on that I'll ask. Taken in isolation from spending issues, where the tax cuts a good, bad, or neutral thing, in your opinion?" ALREADY ANSWERED (and: repeatedly, too!) No not once. Not the specific questions I asked. You dealt with more general ideas, or with ideas somewhat similar, but not the precise question. 1) Lower taxes GOOD. (Increase economic performance of the US economy & revenues) but, 2) But continual Federal Deficits BAD. (Lower economic performance level of the American economy & revenues). Since #1 can cause #2, that doesn't answer the question. If you say A is directly good, but caused or helped cause B which is bad, you aren't really saying whether or not A is good. Was the net result of the tax cuts, good, bad, or neutral, in your opinion?
