And that is why he advocated increasing taxes during expanding economic growth and to decrease them when the economy was in contraction. Somewhere in the 1980's you loons came up with this notion that the Deficits did not matter as much as tax cuts.... that ignorance is catching up to you. Deficits only seem to matter when there is a democrat in office. Originally Posted by WTF

By the way, even leaving tax rates unchanged can retard economic growth. Look up "fiscal drag". Over time, under a progressive rate system taxpayers will be pushed into higher and higher brackets. The AMT is a prime example of this phenomenon.

I never said military spending is responsible for all our debt...I have just assigned it its rightful cost.

Or do like Putin and get a cyber team do get other countries to elect folks that are friendly to you! the cost Putin spent on our election to get the results he wanted were peanuts!

Budman , you do realize that total tax revenue doubled in the ten year span on the 1990's in which we had a tax increase?

In fact it stayed about the same.

Now make your argument that tax cuts increase tax revenue.

I have tried to give you data that the increase with the tax cuts was not nearly as much as when we had tax increases.

That did not happen in the ten year span of the next century when we had a tax cut. Originally Posted by WTF
It about doubled after the tax cut. Now make your argument that tax cuts add to the deficit.

We can do these numbers forever.

Under your theory a reduction of the tax rate to 1% would increase revenues.

Look Bud , go read the Laffer Curve.

Tax rate to high ..reduction in revenue

Tax rate to low...reduction in revenue.
there's discretionary spending and there's mandatory spending.

entitlement spending can be in both categories. Originally Posted by dilbert firestorm

some of the mandatory spending is dodgy, so I don't know how they decide other things are considered mandatory spending.
