lord opie: why are tax cuts retarded
- Thread starter HOWDY
- Start date
Tax cuts arent retarded. Its tax cuts without spending cuts that are a problem.
Well, that's not a universally true statement either.
If you're in a recession, properly applied tax cuts along with an INCREASE in spending can pull you back to balance a lot faster.
I advocate a full-employment budget -- run a deficit in recessions, surplus in booms.
I'm not going to disagree with Keynes completely, but theres always the lag/overshoot problem with fiscal policy and we have to keep it in mind. The government may enact a tax scheme that would be great for an expanding economy but by the time its effects are felt, the business cycle is already flagging and the added government induced slowdown throws us into a deeper recession or worse. I usually find myself in the "government doesn't know what it's doing" camp however so I'm a bit biased toward tax and spending cuts.
I would prefer that our country's full employment is not achieved with government make-work programs since these produce long term distortions that politicians are not considering when they advocate deficit spending in the short term.

I JUST WANT MORE OF WHAT I MAKE. I DONT MIND TAXES AS LONG AS THEY ARE WELL SPENT. NOT AN ECONOMIC MAJOR JUST LIKE LORDS WAY OF EXPLAINING THINGS.
ISNT "deficit" the name of the new bath house OHIO frequents.

You could save "more of what you make" by not typing in all caps and wasting your computerink.
Are you borderline retarded?
bs: point taken.
It wasn't really that funny.Come on people, that was funny.
It's actually called the finishers club.
I knew I recognized you... "howdy," indeed!
For those of you that will never have the pleasure of meeting this guy, let me tell you he has the tightest asshole I have ever violated while cheered on by a room full of naked men.
You have no idea how much that hurts me. I guess that asshole tightening surgery I underwent just wasn't good enough for you...
Better go in for another round. It better be so tight you **** angel hair pasta.
Why'd you assume the problem is with me? My asshole was tight to begin with, but when I was with Ohio, it was like he was throwing a hot dog down a hallway...
