its weird..


no, actually, the answer is you have no way to refute my point, so like most Trump lemmings, you double down on your ignorance and pretend you're correct.

Awkward. Let this be an object lesson in what happens when you start believing your own BS.

And, hey, Trump? Perhaps appoint an actual economist to be your National Economic Council director, there's a thought.

Public debt is not a problem to conservatives as long as it's Republican public debt. Never was.

Can't tell if you're lying, have been lied to, or simply not in command of the facts. Somebody post the bikini graph.

They will pay down debt by transferring it to the national debt with this 1.5 trillion red ink tax cut. In other words, taxpayers in future years, and middle class working people right away, will pick up the tab for private corporations. We should be paying down our national debt first or at least not adding to it to pay the bills the private sector has run up.

Whether they pay down debt or buy stocks back, ultimately that is money that is put back into the economy.
Self-sabotaged in 2 sentences, that's pretty impressive.

In brief: The Trickle-Down Lie

Much more detailed: "Trickle Down” Theory and “Tax Cuts for the Rich" - Hoover Institution Press, Stanford University

Amazing what lies people will believe if they hear them often enough.
Conservatives like to call it supply-side economics, but a turd, however carefully buffed by people like Sowell, still stinks.

Says every demand-side theorist who went full Keynesian in their 20s, not knowing that Keynes himself grossly misquoted/misstated what classical economists had taught on production leading demand for damn near a century before he began plagiarizing Malthus (who also grossly oversimplified the classicists into strawman caricatures).

Supply side economics is not simply reduction of the top marginal or corporate tax rates. It is an entire macroeconomic theory about the entire production side of the supply/demand laws, and includes tax rates, the regulatory state, international supply & demand, monetary policy and consumer confidence.

And not one person has ever espoused an economic theory along the lines of the caricature that supply side economics is turned into when leveled as some sort of criticism by people on the left.

You're like a sophomore econ undergrad who thinks they've found some new idea no one ever thought of
