There is no one that can dispute that the tax cuts enacted by a Republican president and passed by a democrat congress led to a never seen before or since economic boom.

It was a bi-partisan and historic accomplishment. The dems prospered because of it as did the country. You can deny history or you can be intrigued by it or remain in denial. Hopefully some day enough fair minded folks will put the country first.
it wasn't the tax cuts that did that it was the borrowing and spending he was doing. Hey i benefited from all of his borrowing and spending but after everything it help, it made things come to a crushing halt. Do u forget that? You know Bacon the borrowing and spending the righties knew Obama needed to do to get us back going again after Bushes Tax cuts and unwinnable lying war, put us once again in a huge ditch just like the ditch his daddy put us in. Not only did Reagan set the course killing bargianing rights for American workers the cok sucker got caught selling arms to our enemies. Do u approve of that Bacon? Again Obama wanted to borrow and spend to get us out of the awful right wing ditch the righties put us in and was shut down constantly. Why was it okay for Reagan to do it but not Obama? The simple double standards u right wing assholes lead make hypocritical people blush. Can u imagine Hillary being in there and all these people in her cabinet leaving because of their ties to Russia? You assholes would have been crying impeach from the very first day. Could u imagine Hillary campaigning and telling Russia to hack Trump so she could win like Trump did? That is treason but hey he has a R next to his name so u once again will show u are not a decent human being and nothing more than a political hack hypocrite who makes me sick. Can u imagine Hillary opening up our streams and rivers so once again our filthy coal producers can dump their dirty bullshit back into them> Those are the regulations republicans talk about. Those and of course the ones on wall Street so those thieves can steal legally and put us in another ditch. Bacon, why did Trump trash Cruz and Hillary for being puppets to Goldman Sachs than go and hire four of them for his economic team? Is that a hypocrite or a flat out fuking liar?

Let me say this once again for u to try and understand. I had a business and no amount of tax cuts were gonna help me if i had a shitty product. Demand is what spurs business not tax cuts. I remember when Bush put us in the ditch and was crying for huge tax cuts i was in Atlantic City where the casinos were empty. What the fuk were those tax cuts gonna do for that town when real people had no money? It would have done absolutely nothing because the same people spending the money were not getting shit worth anything with those piss tax cuts. What were they gonna do Bacon hire more people to run an empty building. Get the fuk out of here with this trickledown nonsense. Again how these mother fukers trick guys like u into falling for their bullshit, would be hysterical, if it wasn't so fuking sad. Oh and i don't give a flying fuk about the NY Times. JUst cause your side of assholes calls it liberal doesn't mean i have to buy into it. Your side calls every thing and anything liberal as soon as that side say's one bad thing about ya's.
