“You can credit that to the supply-side economics idea that Bush the 1st correctly labeled as “voodoo economics” during his battle for the GOP presidential nomination”

Looks like we might be in for a second dose because Laffer, believe it or not, has risen from the politically dead and the Trumpsters appear to pay attention to what he says.

So, another round of tax cuts for the wealthy with fingers crossed that trickle-down will work this time.

I’m not a big fan of the carbon capture and sequestration plans. It seems to me like it’s just pushing the problem further into the future and setting us up for a big fail at some point.

Oh yes, resignations galore. Maybe that’s a sign that some Trumpcateers do have limits in what or how much they can stomach.

“Smaller government is what the Republicans wanted.”

That’s what they say they want/wanted but in actual fact government has gotten bigger during Republican administrations since Reagan.

Republicans also say they want to decrease the national debt but it has risen through all the Republican administrations beginning with Reagan. You can credit that to the supply-side economics idea that Bush the 1st correctly labeled as “voodoo economics” during his battle for the GOP presidential nomination. During his post-Reagan administration he was later condemned for raising taxes to avoid the crash to which the Reaganomics voodoo led.

Smaller government is what the Republicans wanted. They just wanted to get the tax cuts and pork barrel sorted out first.

He’s shown lately that he has remembered how to say “you’re fired” from his tv years but that’s a tool of limited usefulness for the problems facing him and the U.S..

Sorry, feeling grumpy tonight. Truth is this place is much better than many. But then that’s why I’m grumpy.
