Tax Cuts and Revenue Growth

We often hear the republicans claim that tax cuts result in revenue growth. To support their claim they've offered up a graphic from Bush's Treasury Department. One can't blame Bush's people for highlighting his tax cut of 2003 and suggest that this somehow caused the curve to begin its upward climb.

It's interesting to note, though, that the Bush people didn't highlight what happened to revenues after his 2001 tax cut. So, I helped them with the grapic by adding the black arrow. As you can see, after the Bush tax cut of 2001, revenues fell. Their theory doesn't hold up to scrutiny - according to their own evidence.

Should the President Speak to Students

The right wingers who are complaining about President Obama addressing our nation's students didn't complain when it was Reagan doing it.

"Thank you all, and welcome to the White House, and thank you for coming. I want to congratulate all of you from John A. Holmes High School in Edenton, North Carolina, on your great achievements this year and on your upcoming graduation. And a special greeting to Rob Boyce, the principal of this fine school.

As you know, my remarks are being broadcast live over radio and television to high school students throughout the country. While I was in Tokyo at the economic summit, I found myself thinking about all of you, and I decided that when I got back it'd be good to report to you -- share some thoughts that I've been having about the future."

Not one word of complaint from the wingers.
