"Cherry picked? Every time we've had major tax cuts the economy has improved." Yes, cherry picked. You conveniently ignored Hoover's tax cuts which led to the Great Depresssion. The tax cuts you mentioned were not counter-balanced by budget cuts, they were deficit spending. Which of course stimulated the economy. A good counter-example is that raising taxes are rarely followed by a decline in economic activity. Which, given your thesis, should be the case.
