The proper way to criticize the conclusion is to find fault in his methodology. Given that I doubt i-node even read the column, that won't be forthcoming.

Bentway, I can dismantle David Johnston's argument very easily, and I'm not an "economist." He uses the peak of the 2000 dot-com bubble as a reference point. He then assumes that the bubble could have been sustained and justifies that assumption by using a George W. Bush quote taken out-of-context. The truth is that the dot-com bubble was never sustainable. The Bush tax cuts were not meant to return us to those levels, but to help us recover from the bust that followed. Tenchusatsu
