Sounds like incentive to me.

 Hehe hardly anybody on either side has proposed paying down the debt, actualy something I wouldn't mind not having a tax reduction for.  But you cannot ignore the fact that a tax reduction puts cold hard cash into the hands of investors who like making more money and will invest what money they get to keep.


 10bears, lot of stuff there, too bad it's all hogwash.  I saw all the text in your post and thought that you were coming to the aid of your poor misguided friend weazel, to help him prove the assinign statements he's made in this thread.  But your's are just as assinign as his.  Just so you know,  when OPEC cuts production it helps oil companies make more money.  You don't think Cheney would try and make more money for the company he works for do you?


 hehe

It is amusing that people tend to give more credit to Dick Cheney's ability to influence OPEC as a private citizen than the White House at that time.

JFK would be a conservative Republican nowadays.The first thing he did was cut taxes and jumpstart the economy.

This SOB tryed to kill the unions.

Glad to see you have come over to the dark side Udie. If you were to read Daschle's remarks you would see that you and he agree. Scary huh?

 

(Daschle) We'd also paid down more than $400 billion of the trillions of dollars in debt the federal government had run up during the 1980s and early 90s, and were on a path to pay off the full debt. For the first time in years, the challenge of the Baby Boomers retirement, while still formidable, no longer seemed insurmountable...<snip>..Then, the inevitable happened: our economy started to cool. By last March, we now know, the expansion was officially over and a recession had begun..<snip>.. Unfortunately, last spring, Republicans chose exactly the wrong solution. They made a huge tax cut their number one priority -- ahead of everything else -- and discarded the framework of fiscal responsibility.

 I am in no way on his side of the political isle.  I'm sure there are things that we agree about socialy and fiscaly. The fact remains that he's a lying POS playing political games when we are at war.  He gets some of the credit for our budgets over the past 8 years, but only because the republicans were there to set the agenda, PERIOD.  We'd have no freakin debt if the damned democrats hadn't had control of the congress for 30+ years.  WOW imagine that Dems take control of congress for 30+ years the whole time running unballanced bloated socialistic budgets.  Fast forward 30 yrs Republicans take back congress, first thing they do is ballance the budget.  Sure the economy helped, but the ballanced budget helped the economy too.  Facts are facts man.

[funkedup]

Are there actually people in the US who think tax cuts are bad for the economy?  Man our education system is a failure.  

[midnight Target]

LOL, NO!

Its just the definitions that are at odds here.
Lets see - a 1.7 trillion dollar tax cut is a cut.

OTOH - a 1.3 trillion dollar tax cut is a tax hike???????


Go figure.....sheesh.


And BTW Udie........I bet having 1 or 2 beers and arguing this crap would be a real hoot. At least you have a passion. Many losers do not and that is even sadder than your misguided politics.

no  no no  no no!!!!  

 Repealing a tax cut already given (even though it hasn't taken effect yet) IS a tax increase....
