Toyota: OT 9/11 Thanks Slick Willie

I didn't make up anything, it is all in the Congressional Record
for those willing to look. The question as posed can not be
answered. Without the tax RATE cut the income to the government
would not have increased at the rate that it did, so how can one
know what any difference there would have been? The question of
how much the deficit actually would have been lowered is a math
question, answerable buy deducting the actual amount of spending
increases over the previous year. What counts is how much income
there is to support the spending. If it is higher you have a
budget surplus, if not a have deficit in the budget. History
shows that when the government has more of your money
to spend they will spend more of you money to buy your votes.

To conclude and summarize (for the others here who care about serious
debate):

1) You claim to have done research but won't present the numbers.

2) Your not man enough to acknowledge that your definitive claim that
the Reagan tax cut did not increase the deficit cannot possibly be known
one way or the other (because we cannot definitively know what revenue
would have been without the tax cut).

3) When presented with the fact that tax revenue went down in the first
five years after the Reagan tax cut, which coincides with the explosion
in the debt, you change your tune and claim (again without reference)
that Reagan claimed it would take 10 years to turn the economy around.
That's a laughable claim because the economy was booming in each of 2nd
through 5th years after the tax cut. In spite of that boom, tax
revenues were smaller than they were the year before the Reagan tax cut.
