As far as you second point, I didn't say that. You've said it twice now, so I guess you're back to arguing with yourself again.  |
The fact remains that Dubya turned a $128 billion surplus into a $1.4 trillion deficit (which Obama subsequently reduced by more than half).
As far as this being bipartisan, 5 swing Democrats sided with Bush and all were from states Bush won the previous fall while two Republicans voted against it and they were both from districts that Bush lost. It's clear that supply-side economics has a certain appeal with the (economically unsophisticated) public (such as you). After all, it promises no curtailment in programs they favor while giving them tax cuts that "will pay for themselves." A win-win based upon a lie.
