I keep hearing that the tax cut went to the top 1%. Did you get a tax cut? I did and I am not in the top 1%. Explain to me how govt. revenue grew AFTER the tax cut. Stop with the class envy.
The point of my post wasn’t whether you or I got a tax cut, it was that those that could most afford to pay the taxes got the lions share of the benefits.
Looking at it in hindsight, is the damage to the future economy that it caused, considering that we had two wars going on at the time. That smacked of sheer lunacy.
Here’s something you might like to look at, which of course you will ignore but someone else just might find rather interesting.
Here’s where it came from.
Tax Returns: A Comprehensive Assessment of the Bush Administration's Record on Cutting Taxes — Center on Budget and Policy Priorities
And here for those that are into pdf,s.
Why do I need to show you anything as you won't believe it. Do some research for a change at non partisan sites
Got nothing eh?
You are indeed confused and really beyond hope.
Movin on along.:2wave:
As is now obvious you are incapable of understanding even what is posted. Tell that to the GAO and the cost was for 9/11 and the hurricanes.
Hurricanes, like Floyd, which you attributed to bush, when it hit during Clintons term? :rofl
We were talking about fiscal year 2009 which you claim that Obama inherited yet conveniently ignored that most of the deficit for fiscal year 2009 was after Bush left office so Bush couldn't veto anything. TARP was passed after the budget and contributed to the debt but most of TARP has been paid back.
Yet bush had the option to veto anything that the dems came up with during the last two years that they had control of Congress. SOoo…. it kinda looks like he was quite pleased with the fact that he had at up to that time the largest debt on any President in history; hence no veto of anything that even smacked of increasing the debt . It’s nice that you seem to agree with that fact.
Why don't you grow up and actually do some research
Why didn’t you go to the link I provided and research it yourself? If you did you would have found an in-debt explanation for the clip that I provide. < Part D a $9.4 trillion unfunded liability over the next 75 years> So sad when someone gets so shiftless that they cant even open a website .
Since you are all over the board apparently we can talk about anything. Why is that relevant?
Silly me I thought that a $25 billion contract for mercenaries would be relevant to the ($12 billion a month) cost of the war in Iraq. :roll:
