Is there anyone out there who really believes that cutting your way to prosperity will work or that the Republican position of protecting tax cuts for corporate jet owners over sending your kids to school is the correct one, let alone sustainable? Can someone please lay out an argument how that insanity can possibly make sense even to a tea party person?

The GOP is trying to tank the economy to make Obama look bad.

1) That's astounding
2) It will backfire on them. I can't wait to see them running for the hills when the DOW starts dropping.

When the DOW STARTS dropping? Have you looked at it lately? Have you seen what's happened to people's life savings since Obama took office?

BTW, by his third year in office, Ronald Reagan was riding one of the greatest economic resurgences in US history, one that lasted well into Clinton's term. Any idea how he did that?

I seem to remember hearing the word "cut" as in spending and as in tax rates.

Please provide one example in the last one hundred years of any government anywhere of taxing its way back to prosperity. Just one. One as in half of two.
