Additional point Skeeve the Great Send a noteboard - 16/04/2011 11:37:17 PM
There's nothing in Krugman's figures that disproves trzaska's point, on the contrary.


I wonder if we look at Krugman's number the same way. trzaska's point was that tax cuts were so successful that we've seen jump in revenue (or in revenue grows, or whatever) and so we need to continue this experiment.

Krugman proved it to be wrong - tax cutes resulted in decline of revenue grows. The grows that trzaska's was so exciting about resulted from nothing more than population and inflation grows. According to Krugman's number, if we didn't cut the taxes, we would've seen even bigger grows than that. This kinda defeats the whole point trzaska's was trying to make.

Funny you mentioned WWII and 1968. Can you put tax rates at these times as well? Skeeve the Great - 16/04/2011 07:50:09 PM 1172 Views
Not really. Even if you can substantially raise tax revenue, the entitlement problem remains. *NM* Legolas - 16/04/2011 08:25:26 PM 333 Views

Exactly. Cutting back on fraud and waste doesn't really put much of a dent in those projections. *NM* Tom - 17/04/2011 02:31:13 AM 311 Views
